Ratcliff even includes a final section on resources and paperwork, covering what information to give to pet sitters, how to keep track of food and medications, as well as additional resources and websites. This is easily one of the best resources for dog owners, not only for its easily understood tone but also for just how comprehensive each chapter is without being overwhelming.
