Dr. Shawn's book is filled with great wisdom and compassion. Information is a powerful weapon against cancer and Dr. Shawn proves this time and time again. Dr. Shawn's "The Natural Vet's Guide to Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs" is filled with invaluable and easy to comprehend information. This book will truly empower you as you wage battle against cancer in your beloved animal friend.

I have a dog with mammary cancer. This book has given me more needed information and comfort than
any of the veterinarians (conventional & holistic), oncologists, or surgeons have given me on this grueling
journey. Doctors don't have the additional time needed to develop a integrative plan for your pet. This
book will prove to be an indispensable resource that you will turn to again and again. Loaded with information.

This book will help you to understand why cancer is so rampant in our pets, and give you alternatives to conventional food and medicine while raising them to be healthy and happy.

My JR recently diagnosed with cancer, had to have emergency surgery to remove his spleen. This book was recommended on Aloha Medicinals where I purchased his supplements. Upon further review, found out that this Vet also writes for the Dallas Newspaper, and my sister resides there and said his articles are very informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with a pet with cancer. It is written in very simple terms, and is very explainitory in dealing with the complicated issues involved with the diagnoses. It does go into great detail when you are dealing with chemo treatment. For those like myself, who elected not to do chemo, it does go into the supportive holistic treatments with the herbs and other supplements. It is a step by step approach to dealing with one of the most life changing events that animal owners have to face. As a business owner(Pet Sitting) and someone who has years of vet tech experience, I would recommend this book to any of my clients.

This is an excellent reference book to provide information on different types of cancer in dogs. It helps you recognize the signs and symptoms, and provides sources of treatment both in conventional and complementary therapies. We were especially interested and chose to follow a good deal of the holistic approach with diet, etc. along with the surgery of our dog for fibrosarcoma.

Dr. Messonier discusses a lot of herbs and supplements. My dog is undergoing chemo for lymphoma. The vets and oncologists I've talked to are opposed to giving anti-oxidants during chemo. Dr. Messonier is for it and explains why. I agree with him and will continue my dog on anti-oxidants during chemo.

If you have a dog with cancer, this book will be a very useful tool. I appreciate how both the western (traditional) methods of treatment (radiation, chemotherapy and surgery) are covered as well as many eastern (complimentary/holistic) methods.

I purchased this book after one of my huskies was diagnosed and treated for cancer. Luckily, we went through having a holistic vet, oncologist and surgeon for his care. Although he is cancer free now, I wish I would have picked this up sooner. Most of the information we had learned while researching and communication with his veterinarians/specialists. This useful tool would have made things a bit simpler. I find this guide still useful toward helping keep him cancer free, as well as helping prevent cancer in his brother and dad (also huskies).

This book will be helpful with letting you know what's available and how each of the methods work, and what can help with preparing your dog for this fight. Decisions are very stressful, yet a resource like this can definitely help give a calm with having a better understanding of the options available. I'd recommend this book especially to anyone who has a dog with cancer or caring for a senior dog. You'll find a lot of useful information throughout the pages for preventing and fighting cancer.

I recommend that anyone who has or has had a pet with cancer to purchase this book.

Informative and truthful, there are things in here your vet either doesn't know or won't tell you about alternatives to conventional medications that could very well extend your pets life.

I am very satisfied with the amount of information I have learned from this book.
My 9 year old Shepherd/Basenji had some Malignant Mast Cell tumors removed a year ago and I have been searching for ways to keep her as healthy as possible and to learn what could/would happen next. This book has answered more questions than I had known to ask. I highly recommend this book for anyone dealing with a four legged loved one having any type of cancer.

My dog does not have cancer but I figured it would be well worth it to have this information ahead of time. The information is easy to understand and well laid out. But there are so many typos that look like they were caused when the book was formatted for the Kindle.
