Description
This invaluable dog book will sympathetically show the owner of the newly-blind or already blind dog that their loyal friend is still the same, with the same zest for and enjoyment of life.

With love and careful thought, you and your blind dog can get as much out of life as you always have, having fun and establishing an even closer bond as you help each other find new or adapted ways to live happily together.

Synopsis
It can seem like the end of the world when the vet tells you that sadly your beloved dog is blind or going blind. It is natural to put yourself in their place and imagine how catastrophic this news would be for you. But with life-changing events such as these, there is one essential difference between the human and canine species: dogs won't waste too much time feeling sorry for themselves or asking "why me?" After taking stock, they will, with your help, adapt and get on with the joyful business of living.

Independent Reviews
"An absorbing read, with excellent advice which goes a long way to explaining just how to live with a blind dog, so that you both get the most out of life." - DTW

"A powerful and rare guide to living a happy life with a blind or sight-impaired dog. Owners of such pets receive tips on how to live with such an animal, covering both specific eye conditions and pairing case study examples with solid insights. Any library catering to pet owners will find this a unique, important acquisition!" - California Bookwatch

"'My dog is blind – but lives life to the full' deals comprehensively with the subject and is written in a non-technical style that will make it accessible to dog owners. It is an optimistic can-do book and provides plenty of case studies to illustrate how individual dogs (and their owners) have coped with their disability. This book provides a useful starting point that can help owners understand their dog's disability and learn to cope with it. As a support book it is worth recommending to owners as part of a support package that aims to empower owners and allow them to develop a sensitivity to, and understanding of, what is, at first, a very distressing condition. Owners will particularly appreciate reading the case studies and seeing how others have coped well with similar problems. It is this potential to help owners cope with their dog's blindness that allow me to recommend this book." - Glen Cousquer BSc(Hons) BVM&S CertZooMed PGDOE MSc MRCVS
