A must have emergency resource for all cat owners. Wish I could give it more stars! There is not a superfluous page in this guide and the layout and format makes it easy to use when the pressure is on and you find yourself in kitty emergency mode.

This is an excellent manual every cat owner should have on their shelf. Dr. Chivvis is amazing and thorough! She goes through the main health issues and emergencies cat face, chapter by chapter, with great detail on what to do at home and when to take your cat to a vet and the procedures they perform. I was shocked to learn the Top Ten Toxicities for cats which are common things humans use daily! This is a life saving list to have on hand. I highly reocmmend this book to anyone who wants a lifetime of health and safety for their cat!

As a cat owner, this book gave me real peace of mind. The Cat Owner’s Guide to Health Emergencies by Dr. Gal Chivvis is clear, practical, and easy to understand without feeling overwhelming. I really appreciate how it explains subtle warning signs since cats are so good at hiding illness. The step by step assessment tips and emergency checklists make it feel like you have a vet guiding you at home. This is the kind of resource every cat owner should keep on their shelf.
