Speaking for Spot dog book and dog blog by Dr. Nancy Kay

I just heard Dr. Nancy Kay speak on NPR public radio.

Dr. Kay has a book (and a blog) called SPEAKING FOR SPOT.

Speaking for Spot: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs

to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life

Speaking for Spot was a labor of love for Dr. Nancy Kay, fueled by her passion to teach people how to be effective medical advocates for their four-legged best friends. Gone are the days of simply following doc’s orders-today’s dog lovers are confronted with health-care decision-making on many levels. Perhaps you’ve wondered:

How do I find a vet that feels just right for me and my dog?
How will I be able to afford my dog’s health care?

Is pet insurance the way to go?
Does my dog truly need all those vaccines

listed on the reminder postcard?
Does my dog really need the surgery or

procedure that ha

s been recommended?
When is it appropriate to get a second opinion?

Where should I go to get one and

how can I avoid offending my vet?
Should I take my dog to see a specialist?
Should I consider treating my dog’s cancer?
Am I doing the right thing?

Am I doing this for him or for me?
Is my dog ready to say goodbye?

Am I ready to let him go? What are my choices

when it comes to the euthanasia process?

It's a great book - and you check out the

Speaking for Spot blog as well!
