Hubble & Hattie Catalogue 2014

www.hubbleandhattie.com The Hubble and Hattie imprint was launched in late 2009, when its first book was published, and is named in memory of two very special Westies owned by Veloce's proprietors.

Since then, many more books have been added to the list, all of them with the same underlying objective: to be of real benefit to the species they cover, at the same time promoting compassion, understanding and respect between all animals (including human ones!).

It goes without saying that all Hubble and Hattie books have high quality content, presentation and production, and - because of their competitive pricing - also offer terrific value for money.

Many more publications are planned, so look out for ground breaking, informative books about how to have a better life with your dog; maintaining your dog’s wellbeing and quality of life when on restricted exercise; how to care for a dog with epilepsy and a cat with arthritis, and what celebrities’ dogs mean to them!

www.hubbleandhattie.com Helping minds meet – Skills for a better life with your dog Helen Zulch & Daniel Mills

New 2014!

Dogs have shared our lives for thousands of years – to the benefit of both species.

However, it’s only relatively recently that dogs, in many societies, have lived primarily as companions within the heart of the home.

This close relationship, together with society’s expectations of dogs, can create problems. All relationships have challenges, and where individuals of different species live closely together, these can be magnified, and misunderstandings occur.

These can lead to fractures in the family/dog relationship, and, in some cases, result in dogs developing behaviours that are problematic for us.

This unique book, written by professionals in the field, explains how and why many of these misunderstandings occur, and how we can work to resolve them. It aims to help us adjust the way we interact with our dogs, in order to help our dogs be well behaved, whilst at the same time enabling us to enjoy fulfilling relationships and a good quality of life with them.

Beautiful, specially-commissioned images illustrate the text, and worksheets are provided to help owners focus on the areas where their dog and situation can benefit from applying the suggestions made.

Hubble & Hattie No walks? No worries!

Maintaining wellbeing in dogs on restricted exercise Siân Ryan & Helen Zulch

New 2014!

“He’s going to need six weeks’ crate rest; just keep him quiet while he recovers.”

These words – which often form part of the treatment requirements for dogs undergoing surgery, or requiring long-term medical care – can strike fear and dread into a dog-owner’s heart.

Not a lot of advice is available regarding appropriate mental and emotional support for dogs whilst their usual exercise is limited, and owners are left to manage as best they can, which can be stressful for both owner and dog, and can lead to behaviour changes and problems.

This unique book, written by professionals in their field, aims to help owners identify the individual needs of their dog, and, in addition, offer support in preparing their dog for a period of restricted exercise.

Ideas and tips for mental stimulation and emotional support – as well as alternatives to physical exercise and guidance on how to teach specific skills – are included.

Beautiful, specially-commissioned photographs illustrate every chapter, and worksheets enable owners to chart the progress of their dog’s care plan.
