    "The fast changing socio-economic scenario has popularized the dog keeping in our country. The research and development have resulted into the growth of various canine specialties and a number of books particularly in developed countries, have been published. However, these books for the reasons of having a high price, scarce availability and sometimes inadequacy of pertinent information, have not fully met the requirements of practicing veterinarians and dog lovers as per Indian conditions.

    The main purpose of "All About Dog" is to provide a comprehensive book on dog to veterinary students, practitioners, dog lovers and all others who have a deeper interest in keeping dog, care and management, behaviour, training, breed characteristics, feeding, breeding, infertility, diseases etc at one place. Consolidated efforts have been made to present the subject in a systematic and elucidated manner. This book would prove to be an asset and ready information source to veterinary students, teachers, practicing veterinarians and dog lovers."
