Animal books
Animal books are great ways to get started on learning more about animals. Animals are so varied and different in
many ways (see interesting and fun facts about animals) that it's always fascinating to read more about them.
Read about where they live, how they survive, what they eat. I used to (and still do) love reading about animals.
If you are thinking about becoming a veterinarian then I would suggest you read all you can about animals and also
read books that veterinarians have written about life as a vet. Some things would have changed considerably since
these books were written eg James Herriot books whilst great and inspiring would record some things that are
outdated in the veterinary field, but the love of animals, the people and their characteristics don't change with time.
These are my top picks of animal books :

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
