Notes on many new species being farmed or kept as companion animals are among the thousands of topics covered..
The growing risk of exotic diseases such as heartworm being imported following the relaxation of travel arrangements for dogs and cats is reflected in new entries.

There is greatly expanded coverage of topics relating to popular breeds of dog and cat, and the inheritable conditions that might affect their health.
For this edition much new and updated information has been included, reflecting the numerous developments that have taken place in animal care and husbandry, and welfare.
