Speaking for Spot: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life
Let me repeat that last part…
You should buy Speaking for Spot!
That’s how much I like this book. It’s truly an empowering book and I think everyone who cares about the well-being of their dog (or cat) should have it. It gives pet owners very specific and clear ideas on how to talk to veterinarians about our pets’ health. Whether you have questions about giving medication or trying to decide which way to go with treatment for a particular health issue, Speaking for Spot can help. The book won’t tell you what to do, but it will give you the tools to help you make an informed decision on your pet’s behalf.
Suddenly being hit with a health problem can send a person scrambling. I know! I had never been faced with canine cancer until my dog was diagnosed with it in 2008. I went through cancer with my Mom just a few years earlier, so I knew from a human perspective some of the questions to ask, but it was still really daunting. I read everything I could find about canine cancer. I just wish I’d had this book from the beginning to help me through it. But even now, two and a half years later, it’s been extremely helpful. It’s helped me feel better about the way I’ve handled her care but it’s also given me information that will help me in the future.
Speaking for Spot will help you learn how to communicate better with your veterinarian and become a better advocate for your dog – and for your client’s pets! As a pet sitter, clients undoubtedly ask you questions about their pets’ health. Speaking for Spot will help you help them, but it’s also a book you might suggest to your clients.

Thank you so much for writing about this book. My cat was diagnosed with some serious health problems lately. I just bought this book a few days ago and it’s already helped me rethink how I talk to her vet. Thank you!
