Caring for Your Older Dog
A Comprehensive Guide to improve the quality of life and longevity of your older pet

By Chris C. Pinney, DVM, published by Barrons Educational Series; [ISBN: 0812091493], October 1995

from our review:

Those of us who have dedicated our lives to the geriatric hound, constantly seek reference materials to help us care for our aging friends. This comprehensive little $10, 178-page book is one of the best I've found.
