I used this book to help look at how to save my beloved Lady, a lab back in 2006. She was diagnosed with a Mass Cell Tumor. We did the normal treatments that were recommended (and physcially hard on her body...but I don't regret it) but I also incorporated natural remedies too. We looked at the use of food (which we changed after she got cancer) and natural products to help her immune system and to fight infection through homeopathic measure. She made it through her treatments, we kept her (and the other dogs) on the same diet and she remained with us for five more years to the age of 11.5 yrs old. Most dogs who have a mass cell get it back after a year or two. It never came back. I attribute that to the holistic diet we kept her on. She was my love, my buddy and my companion. It was a lot of work creating that diet and worth it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not that essential, October 21, 2000

This review is from: Cancer: The Essential Guide to Natural Pet Care (Paperback)

Interesting book about alternative care for dogs and cats with cancer. However, not very specific and even though there are some more specific issues discussed most of the recommendations are not focused on a specific subject. If you really want to fight this disease and need specific and straight foward answers talk to your veterinarian and do a lot of research about it. They will be the best sources to help you face the questions and fears about cancer.
