The Itchy Dog: Book extras

For readers of The Itchy Dog: Why Is My Dog So Itchy? A Vet's Real Answers on What Actually Works, by Steve Pelton, DVM.

Thanks for reading the book. This is where the extras live, and all of it is free.

Get it on Amazon (Kindle) $9.99, or free with Kindle Unlimited. The paperback's coming soon.

The worksheets are the same ones from the Tools section at the back of the book, laid out with more room to write so you can print a clean copy whenever you need one. Print as many as you like, for as many dogs as you've got. A pencil on a string next to the fridge helps more than you'd think.

The full list of sources is here too, with links, so you (or your vet) can look up the original papers.
