Overall, the book is interesting. I love Sylvia and have read most of her books. Some of the things I did not enjoy about it: the first 1/4 (approximately) of the book is a complete rehash of her other books. Also, it discusses at length pets in ancient times which I found not so interesting as it is common knowledge that everyone loves their pets, even ancient people. It did not relate to pets on the otherside. It seemed like it took quite a while to get to the "meat and potatoes" of the topic of pets on the OTHERSIDE. Sylvia also had a tendency to rely heavily on pet stories that readers submitted to her on her website. I guess I was hoping to hear more from Sylvia and not just her readers. Don't get me wrong, the book is still very enjoyable, especially if you have lost a beloved pet. I miss my pets and this book put me at ease and was a tear-jerker (in a good way). It would make a good gift for someone who misses a pet. Happy reading!

Sylvia has done it again! I purchased this book after my 12 yr. old Shih-Tzu passed. Looking for answers, I found them in this book. Sylvia has such a natural way to explain the unexplained, I felt confident that my dearly loved pet is in a better place after I read this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost a pet and is looking for answers to questions. This book warmed my heart!

I enjoyed this book. I'm a huge fan of Sylvia Browne and her books. This book is a great read for all animal lovers & pet owners. Especially for pet owners who've unfortunately experienced the death of 1 or more of their beloved pets. I think all who read this book will find it comforting, and enjoyable.

I was really disappointed with All Pets Go To Heaven. It really was just like reading Chicken Soup for the Soul for pets. I thought it would go into a lot more detail about the after life of all animals and not just basic generalizations. I think a lot of readers will be pretty disappointed with this book. I about fell asleep with the history part of animals and the Egyptians, etc. I really feel this book was a big let down. Sorry guys...

For anyone who has loved and lost a beloved pet, Sylvia Browne's book, All Pets Go To Heaven, is an insight into how the devotion our pets show us in life continues after death. It is comforting to know that our pets are not forever gone from our lives and the joy of reuniting with them will happen again!

This was the first book I have ever read by Sylvia Browne. I have seen her on Montel Williams and heard plenty about her, so I was very excited to get this book as a birthday present. My cat, Dandy Lion, who was with me 18 years (I was only 20 when he passed so it felt like my entire life), passed away last November and reading anything positive about animals after death is so comforting to me- it has been so hard. In reading this, I felt I could relate to a lot of the other stories, even the ones that had nothing to do with death or Dandy-ish cats, and it made me feel less alone in my grief. Sometimes hearing 'he was just a cat' from insensitive people makes me feel completely alone in the world and like I am the only one who ever loved an animal as much or more than humanity, but reading this book was like 'Woo! Someone agrees with me!' It is a great book for animal lovers, Silvia Brown fans, and people who have lost a beloved pet.

I can see how some people may not like it, however, if they are unfamiliar with Sylvia's beliefs and those similar to her's because she explains things as if she were talking to someone who already knows about them... but I had a great time reading this, though I got choked up a few times.

i bought this book after my precious beagle rescue dog died suddenly. I was hoping to find out if my dog might really be in heaven. I was completely disappointed in this book. She went to deep in religion and mythology. I found it very boring and hard to continue reading. As a physic. she didn't convince me wheather dogs went to heaven or not.

Love this book along with all her others. It is comforting to know, that our beloved pets will be with us again on the other side and will be waiting for us when we cross over.

I love this book so much. I am an animal lover and this book gave me consolation for the grief I still feel over the loss of my little Boston Terrier.

I just have one question for the naysayers who give this one star and one or two ad hominem attacks to justify it. Why is it that your reviews are mostly one sentence long, with no information as to what is specifically wrong with the book? It makes me doubt whether you actually read it. And for the reader who accused Sylvia of hypocrisy because she didn't own pets at one time, how does what she did in the past have any bearing on whether she is right or wrong? The typical Sylvia Browne critic immediately ridicules her without discussing any actual issues, which is the problem with much of what you seem to hear nowadays coming from the non-spiritual. Instead of attacking people, why don't we be civilized and go back to debating the issues? Attack the message, not the messenger. To whoever wants to post any further criticisms of this book, do us all a favor and explain WHY you dislike it, WHY you think she's wrong, and WHY spiritualists are all morons. As for my own opinion of this book, I don't have much to add to what has already been written. There is nothing unorthodox or unpredictable that I can see. Browne's arguments, however, are more supported by documentary evidence than I had expected, though there is no proper citation or bibliography, so it's anybody's guess whether her sources actually exist.
