 Rating:  - allery solutions for dogs i very important book to help you figure out what ity is why your dog is chewing her/his opaws food and other things how to fixes Rating:  - Good book, but I still have questionsI was looking for a book that would help SOLVE my problems with dogs and allergies - this book just gives examples of what to look for (is it or is it not allergies) and suggests seeing the vet.
