When a professional states, "Your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)", it is enough to make your whole world fall apart. What does it mean to be on the autism spectrum? How will this affect your child's life, your life, the life of your family, and others you interact with? What sorts of medications, therapies, and alternative methods are used to help manage the disorder? What are the financial and legal ramifications? How will this affect schooling, your spiritual growth, and everyday life? These are just a few of the questions that will rapidly cross your mind.

Caring for Autism: Practical Advice from a Parent and Physician delves into all these questions and more. As the father of a daughter with ASD and as a trained psychiatrist who specializes in ASD, Dr. Michael A. Ellis provides a holistic view of what comes after diagnosis. In user-friendly tones, he answers the most commonly asked questions about what it's actually like to live with ASD, what medications and therapies are available, and the global impact it has on the child's environment. With the help of his wife, Lori Layton Ellis, to provide a mother's perspective, Dr. Ellis shares personal stories of their 10-year journey in order to provide insight and support for anyone - patient, parent, caregiver - traversing the difficulties of autism.

Fantastic variety of doggie toys perfect for our little fur baby!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Fantastic for smaller dogs, our little chi-mix loves all of the toys, there's such a great variety and he's having so much fun chewing them and playing fetch with them. Even comes with many extra rolls of waste bags which is awesome. Highly recommended for the value and amount you receive!

SMALL DOGS ONLY!!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Every one of these toys are made for very small dogs. 🤣 They're almost too small for my 8 wk old border collies. Im still not upset at the order though as the pups will all be rehomed after this weekend. Was just bummed that every single one was made for SMALL DOGS. Am super happy with how fast shipping was.

Nice dog toys
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Nice toys, but no match for my 2 year old female pitbull. Most toys she shreds. Even some that are supposed to be indestructible. Some of these lasted for a while.

Great and solid chew toy for those "eager" chewers!
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
This is a winner! Especially if your dog is an aggressive chewer. My dog is a 30 lb on the outside but on the inside is a 200 lb tiger/bear who likes to gnaw/destroy everything. I only wish I were joking. We've had this little toy for however long now and she goes to town on it and I don't have to worry like I do with other toys. Because no pieces are falling off or breaking off and she's a happy camper. And I'm a happy camper because I'm not all up in her gnawing business. As you see in the picture this is the perfect size for her. I think she is a mini aussiedoodle but she's approximately 30 to 33 lb of pure energy, love, sloppy kisses, and aggressive chewing. Best toy has its me money by not having to replace more shoes and chargers of all sizes. I think it's kind of cute and she is very protective of it. As I was taking pictures to post, she came to me, got it, trotted off, and you see the end results: her with the toy, protectively holding on to it. She loves this thing and I'm about to order another one just to have just in case. I will mention it is heavy for its size. But unless you want to knock somebody out, I wouldn't recommend throwing it. At all. I don't think any dog smaller than her could carry it around and I don't have a scale to weigh it but this is the perfect size for her. This truly was the best chew toy I have gotten her in about a year, and I am not exaggerating. We are huge fans!!!

good toy for heavy chewers
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
My dog loves this toy. It is tough and has a nice squeak. The only thing that bothers me a bit (it doesn't bother the dog) is the plastic tail gets rough with the chewing.
