	I would like to come up with a list of great books to read for newbie dog owners at a vet hospital. I am looking for books that cover the basics of living with a dog (feeeding, grooming, positive training, healthcare ect) . Recommendations would be greatly appreciated so that I can go read them and then come up with a list. (Cat suggetsions welcome, too) Thank you so much!

	Most of my dog books are behavior/training related and a few diet related so.... Training: "The Power of Positive Training" by Pat Miller "Before & After Getting Your Puppy" by Dr. Ian Dunbar "The Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson "Canine Body Language" by Brenda Aloff (IMO this would be a great one for vet waiting rooms... since it's big picture book and explains the body language in each photo, so it's not really a deep immersive linear read) "The Other End of the Leash" by Patricia McConnell Diet: "Work Wonders" by Tom Lonsdale I have a bunch more but I tried to narrow it down to just a couple.
