Certified veterinarian Kim Buscher is the host and instructor for this brief guide to canine care. Shot in an office setting, the program shows viewers how to care for a dog's ears, eyes, and nose (and how to recognize problems); good grooming techniques, nail care, and suggestions for bathing. In addition, the program discusses the importance of having one's pet spayed or neutered. And, for the really industrious, there's a section on how to brush your dog's teeth. A good, straightforward video on basic dog care, this is recommended for libraries who don't already have The CBS/Fox Guide to Complete Dog Care or similar fare. (See KARATE FOR KIDS for availability.)
