From the Author
Today, our cats and dogs are considered family members and just as deserving of the best medical care available. Cutting-edge medicine IS available for your puppy or kitten, adult dog or cat, or geriatric pet--and loving them means providing for their wellness the best way we can. After all, that's what we do for our friends. *smile*

Your veterinarian is key to keeping your dog or cat healthy. But just as human cardiologists and surgeons offer specialized care, more than 20 veterinary specialties also offer help that goes beyond the basics. My goal has always been to empower you to make informed choices about your pet's physical and emotional needs. I believe it is vital that all pet lovers become aware of what treatments are available, and where to find them, by asking their veterinarian. Now, you can read this book for that information. My fondest wish is that "PET CARE IN THE NEW CENTURY" will help you learn about various options to help you make the best choices for your individual animal's circumstance. Then it's up to you to say "yes" or "no thanks" to a kidney transplant, paralysis cure, behavior help, or cancer treatments, for example--remembering always that there is no right or wrong answer.

When you make a decision from the heart that is based on the best information available to you at the time, it cannot be wrong.

Best wishes,

Amy D. Shojai
