Dog-Gone Good Medicine gives the reader a look behind the curtain of a small town’s veterinarian’s practice life and see what is really important: the love shared between pets and people and how we can make it better. A family vet for four decades, Bert Platt has served generations of pets and families through his small animal practice, becoming an extended part of their lives. His experiences with pets has extended to almost every aspect of veterinary practice: from day to day small animal medical care to working with government agencies on pet care issues to serving as a livestock veterinary missionary in Africa. He has been blessed to be able to experience the exciting and fun times as well as the difficult ones, and those experiences have changed his life. By sharing them in this book, Bert allows the readers to be changed as well, helping them understand how they can make their own pet relationships more meaningful. Dog Gone Good Medicine goes beyond the many books on pet health care, providing not just the what and how of pet care, but getting to the heart of who pets really are and why they mean so much to their families. Through many specific patient experiences, Bert helps explain the best ways to keep pets healthy, and also the best ways to keep pet relationships healthy. The reader will save money by following his recommendations on feeding and medical care, laugh as he recounts the many humorous and ironic episodes that are universally experienced by veterinarians and their patients, and perhaps remember their own tough times as Bert shares how he and his family have responded to losing their own beloved family pet. Along the way we get some answers to the basic questions that every pet owner asks: What kind/breed/size pet is best for me? What food/treats/toys/medicines are best for my pet? What the most important things I can do to keep my pet healthy and happy? But we also get the answers to questions we didn’t even know we were asking: How will
