Helpful and beautifully written,

This review is from: The Holistic Health Guide: Natural Care for the Whole Dog (Terra-Nova Series) (Hardcover)
It is hard to describe how much I love this book
Most of us who have dogs in our lives consider them part of the family. We all know how it feels to not know how to help them when they hurt. We have all been in a position where we just don't know where to turn. Even the simple questions can sometimes be difficult to answer.We are fortunate to live in a time when science has made great strides in dealing with health issues for not only ourselves, but our pets as well. We also have the benefit of the ancient wisdom of eastern medicine. With all of these opportunities why just take advantage of one or the other? Dr Doug helps to find the answers. He uses his experience with both Eastern and Conventional medicine to explain how a balanced body, mind and spirit is important not only to ourselves but to our canine companions as well. This is not only an informative read, but an entertaining one. Are you questioning the need for vaccines? Do you wonder if you should use a flea treatment for your dog? Does acupuncture really work? What about those herbal remedies? Chiropractic for my dog? Do you just not know the best way to ensure that your dog is getting the best possible care? Does massage really help my dog? What is homeopathy anyway? This book shows a typical pet lover how to care for their dogs in the healthiest and most compassionate and helpful ways. You will never regret having this book on your shelf, or in your hands when your little friends need you most. If you have a dog, you need this book. If you don't have a dog, but are interested in holistic care, read this book. Now if only Dr Doug would write one for my cats!

Very enjoyable and informative book,

This review is from: The Holistic Health Guide: Natural Care for the Whole Dog (Terra-Nova Series) (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it was very informative. And, best of all, it is written in plain English. Before I picked up the book, I really didn't know much about alternative medicine or the difference between Holistic and Homeopathic.
I bought the book mainly because we have an older dog and we want to make sure he is living the healthiest life possible. It's good to know that there may be alternative approaches to treating canine problems, particularly when you are working with an older animal. We never considered acupuncture as a possible treatment for our dog's joint problems, but we will look into it now. I understand that Dr. Knueven wrote another book a few years ago. I plan to buy that book as well.

THE DEFINITIVE BOOK FOR HEALTH-CONSCIOUS DOG LOVERS,
By
This review is from: The Holistic Health Guide: Natural Care for the Whole Dog (Terra-Nova Series) (Hardcover)
As a person who uses holistic and preventative health practices for myself and my family, I'd been in search of information about how to take care of our pets in this way, as well. I was so pleased to discover The Holistic Health Guide by Doug Knueven, a credentialed and widely respected veterinarian who specializes in holistic pet care. I immediately put his advice to good use--for example, quickly finding a solution for my Jack Russell terrier's allergy problem (fish oil) and educating myself about the vaccine debate and herbal treatments. The book's format makes it super easy to reference information and the way it's written is a joy to read. If you're looking for THE definitive book on holistic pet care, you can't be in better hands than with Dr. Knueven's Holistic Health Guide.
