Despite how cute and cuddly pets are, they are pretty gross too. Anyone who has seen drool trailing from a dog's mouth or a cat cough up a fur ball will agree. Readers learn about all sorts of animal behaviors and what they tell us about an animal's body. Readers will also discover several ways they can help keep their pets healthy. Animal biology is a key element of this book, making it a worthy addition to any science library.
