 life saver January 17, 2001
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
My daughter picked up a Lab/bulldog mix puppy thrown out at a park. His health is not the best to say the least. While searching for a non-steroid solution to his skin allergy rash, I stumbled across references to Ms. Levy's book. This book, along with another by Pitcairn have saved this puppy from dying. An added benefit has been that my Cocker and Dachshund have improved as well. The Cocker is now 13 years old and I had accepted her slowing down and lethatgy to her age. Now that she is eating naturally she has energy that I haven't seen in years. The nicest effect is that she no longer smells horrible and her eyes no longer water and leave stains under her eyes! The book is written so that it is easy for anyone to understand. I am highly recommending this book to all. I think it should be required reading for veterinary students as well.

If you take the time to read the many suggestions and easy-to-understand principles the author writes about, you will find so many pet ailments making so much more sense. Our pet is now 10 times healthier than before, thanks to this woman's wealth of insights and experience. Thank you!

This is the latest edition of Juliette de Bairacli Levy's (a.k.a. the grandmother of the natural rearing movement) classic Herbal Handbook for the Dog (cat owners will be more interested in the book she has written specifically on holistic cat care). Juliette has been breeding, naturally rearing, showing, and traveling the world with her Champion Afghans since the 1930s. This book is dedicated to her Turkuman Afghan Hounds who "have never known disease." As always, Juliette is opinionated, uncompromising, cantankerous, and a tad eccentric, but also full of wisdom and vast amounts of valuable info, and every one of her books makes a fascinating read. The first section of this book deals with nutrition (she emphasizes the importance of feeding a raw diet), breeding and natural rearing (no vaccines, insecticides, etc.) while the second part deals with herbal remedies for everything from mange to distemper. Of course most of her suggestions are out of synch with current veterinary advice, but our own naturally reared Wirehaired Pointers and many other dogs like them are living proof that her methods work -- extremely well. Our dogs have remained disease and parasite-free without vaccines, worming pills, insecticides, antibiotics, steroids, etc. The best protection we can give our beloved Wires is a strong immune system, and all of the above have the effect of weakening our animals' immune systems. Even if you are not ready to go "all natural," this book will make you question the conventional wisdom and hopefully encourage you to further research the many harmful practices (e.g., annual booster shots, combo vaccines, antibiotics and/or steroids for every minor infection, routine wormings, feeding of commercial convenience foods with highly questionable ingredients, etc.) we have learned to accept as both necessary and harmless.
If you own only one pet care book, make it this one!!! March 28, 1999

Ms. de Bairacli Levy is TRULY a gifted breeder, physician and writer. I was amazed to read in one of the previous reviews that this book contains "...very little scientific evidence..." Unbelievable!! In this invaluable book you will find references to a WIDE variety of sources of reliable information, including famous dog breeders, ancient arab teachings, time-proven folklore and her over 60 years of world-wide travel and animal care experience. Why does a system of pet care and proven remedies need to be proposed and stamped AOK by an MD before it is acceptable to use? There are literally HUNDREDS of testimonies from breeders all over the world for the past 50 years (including one in this review section!) that her priniciples and practices are ALL sound. Pariculary chilling and sobering is her section detailing the horrible problems incumbent in the commercial production of beef, written JUST BEFORE the Mad Cow outbreak in England. Not only can she explain to us clearly and simply how people all over the world take care of their pets, but she can predict future calamities as well! While a good, open-minded veterinarian is a valuable person to know, this book will give you all the information you need to not merely heal your dog's sickness or injury, but to give him and any future generations that may follow, a lifetime of vital, disease-free health. And relegate your veterinarian to someone you usually see only in the check-out line of your local supermarket
