 One Very Healthy Dog! June 25, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
For once, a practical guide to natural treatments that compliment standard veterinary care. Recently, my dog sustained an injury. Her vet treated her wound. Then I used the advice from this book to help her cope with the stress of situation, as well as deal with side affects of the traditional treatment she received. She had a VERY fast and easy recovery. I have also gotten excellent results using some of the treatments for my own ailments!

 Good Intro to Natural Remedies for Dogs June 25, 2000

Martin Zucker has interviewed over thirty holistic vets for this book. They share which supplements, dietary changes, herbs, homeopathic remedies, or flower essences they have found to be effective for conditions ranging from arthritis and cancer to parasites and yeast infections. If you've been into natural rearing for a while, few of the suggestions will be new to you, but the book is nonetheless a nice resource.
In addition to the A-Z index of canine health problems and suggested natural remedies, there are brief chapters introducing various holistic therapies (herbs, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies, flower essences, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage techniques), plus chapters on vaccinations/titers and nutrition. However, while it's great that the holistic vets interviewed for this book are advocating fresh food diets, the information presented in the chapter on homemade meals is not sufficient to enable anyone to prepare a balanced homemade diet for their dog(s). For properly balanced fresh food diet plans, check out books by Billinghurst, Volhard, or Pitcairn. I also have to disagree with the section on feeding bones -- in my experience with natural dog rearing and as an animal nutrition consultant I have found that softer, raw bones such as chicken necks or backs that are consumed in their entirety are far safer than the big, hard beef bones recommended in the book.
Finally,a book that dog lovers can use with confidence March 7, 2000

Mr.Zucker has covered a vast field of information about alternative appproaches in a concise and yet authorative manner.I,as a dog lover,and as an owner of two dogs need such a book on a daily basis.It helps to answer so many questions that I have in not only caring for my pets but in helping them to live a longer and healthier life.
