  This book provides a practically orientated and readable account of the behaviour of the dog and cat. Opening chapters on evolution and behaviour-related biology set the scene for a detailed discussion of canine and feline behaviour. The development of behaviour from neonate to adult is described, with emphasis on social behaviour in both dog and cat. The behavioural basics of food selection and feeding patterns are considered in relation to their origins in the wild. The final chapter addresses the interactions of pets and people, and considers both the benefits and the responsibilities of pet ownership. Written by the experts at the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, this book provides a review of behavioural studies in the dog and cat and presents the results of Waltham projects. It is an excellent text for veterinarians, student veterinarians, veterinary nurses and technicians.
