Taking the family dog for a checkup, Minal discovers, is a big responsibility. It begins even before she and her mother and Silver arrive at the vet's office.
When it's Silver's turn with Dr. Kuhlman, Minal carefully follows each step of the exam, from the doctor's thorough look at her dog's eyes, ears, mouth, and throat to temperature taking and shots. There is so much to learn, even with a thriving pet: what the doctor checks for and why, how to spot signs of poor health, and what diet and grooming basics every dog needs.
As in When I See My Doctor...and When I See My Dentist..., Susan Kuklin has gone on location to capture a real-life experience that is familiar, and yet often confusing, to many preschoolers, The simple, first-person text and candid photographs clearly explain the routine procedures of a dog's yearly trip to the vet, while reinforcing a child's good manners throughout. Young children will appreciate the information and reassurance offered here.
