From the Publisher

Charles William Daniel (1871-1955) was a maverick free-thinker whose tiny publishing house had august links with many of the most influential thinkers and movements of the 20th century. To wit, copies of Daniel's books could be found in the library at Ghandi's ashram. This spirit lived on after his death, and the company maintained its niche by publishing definitive texts on a variety of spiritual and esoteric subjects. Many of these titles, notably those on Aromatherapy and Bach Flower remedies, have become standard works on the subject. When the C.W. Daniel list went looking for a new home, the Vermilion and Rider imprints were the natural place for this wonderful collection of authors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best For Those Experienced In The Use Of Homeopathy, July 16, 2000

This review is from: Dogs: Homoeopathic Remedies (Paperback)

This book is a good resource for those with some experience in the use of homeopathic remedies. It's definitely not the first book on homeopathy you should be reading, as it will not tell you how to take a case, choose the most appropriate remedy, select potency and repetitions, and recognize signs of a cure or partial cure as well as the signs of suppression or a noncurative aggravation. For an excellent introduction to veterinary homeopathy, check out books by Dr. Don Hamilton and Dr. Christopher Day.
Dr. Macleod's book lists some of the major remedies for a large variety of canine ailments (arranged according to body system) with a brief description of the symptom picture that would call for a particular remedy. Of course the list of remedies is not exhaustive and this book is not intended to substitute for looking up the remedies in a comprehensive materia medica.

5.0 out of 5 stars Homeopathic Dog Remedy, January 25, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dogs: Homoeopathic Remedies (Paperback)

This book is incredibly helpful to the point I have purchased this book for many family members, who embrace the homeopathic approach to promote healing the cause of their dogs symptoms, but lack the knowledge of being able to chose an appropriate remedy for acute ailments for their pooch. It is very easy to use, it should be called the Dummies Guide to Homeopathic Dog Remedies. We use this book frequently with great success.

This review is from: Dogs: Homoeopathic Remedies (Paperback)

I think this book skims subjects & in my dog's case did not offer any help what so ever with the problem. Wish I had my money back.
