Nearly 70 million American households are pet dog owners, as depicted by the story of a rehabilitated mixed-breed canine.
=====================================================================
In an interview, Gary Weitzman, the CEO of the San Diego Humane Society, discussed his new book, "Complete Guide To Pet Health, Behaviour, And Happiness." Weitzman, a veterinarian with over two decades of experience, aims to help pet owners better understand their pets and make informed decisions about their care.
Weitzman believes that cats need just as much attention and energy as dogs, and their environment should be stimulating. He hopes to dispel common myths about pets, such as the idea that cats are easier pets than dogs. According to Weitzman, animals in shelters can be purebreds and make great pets.
One of the difficulties owners face in keeping their pets healthy is the accessibility and cost of veterinary care. Weitzman's book aims to help pet owners understand that animal health is not a mystery and that animals can exhibit signs of discomfort similar to humans. No one knows a pet better than its owner, and they can generally tell when their pet is not feeling well by listening and watching closely.
Weitzman also wants to dispel the myth that shelters are sad places. He finds the best part of working in a shelter is the people he gets to work with who are committed to the cause. When considering adopting a pet, it's important to take time to think about what pet would be the best match and what you'll need to do to keep them happy and healthy.
Weitzman's goal in writing the book was to help pet owners translate what their vets are saying to make the best decisions possible. He has adopted his three-legged German shepherd, Jake, after treating him as a puppy. Jake is not the first three-legged dog Gary Weitzman has adopted; he has previously adopted two greyhounds with four legs, one of which he had when he adopted Jake. The pets of National Geographic staffers include Gary Weitzman's three-legged German shepherd, Jake.
Through his book, Weitzman aims to educate and inform pet owners, provide practical advice, promote responsible pet ownership, and foster a better understanding of the human-animal bond. With his extensive experience and commitment to animal welfare, Weitzman's guide is a valuable resource for any pet owner seeking to improve their pet's health, behaviour, and happiness.
