Product Description
This book contains a wealth of information on the holistic care of your dog's health. Introductions to herbal medicine, homeopathy, and dietary guidelines are coupled with the care of specific illnesses and conditions. The Complete Holistic Dog Book embraces the idea that support for vibrant health begins at home. The concept of holistic health care means addressing the harmony of mind, body, and spirit of an individual that together promote health. This includes lifestyle considerations, such as nutrition, exercise, play, stress prevention, and rest all of which you will be able to provide for your canine friend. Included also, is the wisdom of many holistic veterinary practitioners who've shared their knowledge and offered support with animal healing. This is a well-rounded book for the natural care of your dog through the life-span.

Anyone interested in gathering all they can for knowledge about holism and the way this lifestyle can be implemented for pets SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK. Some of it is opinionated, but the more knowledge that we have to form our education of this subject, the more educated our own opinions can be. Great book.

I don't agree with many of the authors "opinions" in this book and believe there are much better books on the subject available. Don't waste the money!

The Most Complete & Informative Canine Care Book Ever! December 17, 2008

I purchased this book based on another review and can say that the book is exceeding my already high expectations. So much excellent information from two very knowledgable sources. My dog is already benefiting from the diet information...changes have already improved her coat and digestive tract issues. I even purchased another copy to give to a friend with a new puppy. If you're serious about good dog care, you need this book.
Great book for a dog lovers collection! September 12, 2008

After getting another book, I found I wanted to ensure diversity in my book collection of reference materials. Saw this book, flipped through it in the book store and decided to get it. That simple. It has great information in it and bullets out just what I want to know. I also have the Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats : Your A-Z Guide to Over 200 Conditions, Herbs, Vitamins, and Supplements by Shawn Messonnier. Both of these books complement each other and provide what I need to know for taking care of my animals. Often, the herbs recommended correlate to the ones I'm taking (or that people take). I certainly don't mind sharing with my best friend and loyal companion.
My quest initially started because my 7 YO schnoodle suddenly experienced a slipped disk and couldn't walk (essentially hind leg paralysis, both hind legs). I was completely distraught at the prospect of surgery on the little guy. After learning a local chiropractor (ours as it turns out) would take a look at him, I took him in. I consider it CAM - complementary alternative medicine. I kept him on steroids, and pain management, and the chiro adjusted him. By the next morning he was able to walk out of his cage (where the meds had clearly made him sick all night). I decided then and there that there is no question in my mind that there is something to be said for alternative therapies. No one can convince me otherwise. This dog dragged himself around for two days, and the vets told me they saw no improvement when they had him. I continue with touch therapy and supplements to his diet. But I will never forget this extraordinary and valuable lesson. Our families are valuable treasures and we are entrusted with good stewardship of our K9 companions. This book helps make that job a bit easier.
