A must-read for all parents of pets with cancer,
This review is from: Pets Living With Cancer: A Pet Owner's Resource (Paperback)
As an owner of the most loveable, teddy-bear Rottweiler in the world, I have found "Pets Living With Cancer" to be the ultimate resource for information and inspiration. Hampton was diagnosed with Osteo-Sarcoma (bone cancer) and I was at a loss and feeling very hopeless. Not only did this book give me renewed hope, but it described, in layman's terms, the myriad of options that are available to treat this disease. I also learned that cancer does NOT have to be a death sentance. The author, Robin Downing, has lived through this experience with her Great Dane Murphy, and is extremely compassionate and understanding while communicating the fact that we, as pet owners, do have options and can fight. This book is a definite, must-read for any pet owner, considering that cancer is the number one killer of dogs-- especially if it is left untreated. Hampton is doing great now, and I have an extremely positive attitude, thanks to Robin Downing.

WEAK IN NUTRITIONAL INFO - BUT AN IMPORTANT BOOK TO OWN,
By CAT (Alhambra, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pets Living With Cancer: A Pet Owner's Resource (Paperback)
I read this little book the first night I got it, and learned a great deal. I only wish I had this info before I lost my beautiful cat friend Taura to cancer almost 5 yrs ago. Even though I thought I was well informed at the time Taura was sick, I've since learned that I really was not, and a book like this could have made a real difference. Veternarians do not always have the skills or knowledge to give thorough information and this book has an abundance of real life info and leaves one with a great deal to think about. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed in the section on nutrition, which seemed to lack a full view of nutritional options. Even though there was info given on the importance of protein, carbohydrates,etc. the main recommendation for a cancer fighting food was Hills Diet, which felt bias. Some info was given on supplements, but none on other options for foods, such as the possiblity of homemade diets, either cooked or raw, which under the guidance of a good vet could be the answer to good health, depending on the individual needs of each animal. Also, no other quality foods were listed, of which there are many, which with proper guidance may also be appropriate. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OTHER NUTRITIONAL OPTIONS WITH A VET WHO KNOWS NUTRITION, AS MANY DO NOT. THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK TO HAVE - I will keep it near and hope I will not need it.

Hope for Pets With Cancer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pets Living With Cancer: A Pet Owner's Resource (Paperback)
Pets Living With Cancer: A Pet Owner's Resource provides a critical message of hope to families whose animal companions are facing the spectre of cancer. Nowhere else can pet owners find the answers to their most pressing questions. This book empowers pet owners to choose the right cancer-fighting team, understand the basics of dealing with cancer, and (most importantly) begin to make the best choices for their beloved animal companions. This book really helped me to understand that a diagnosis of cancer in my pet is NOT a death sentence!
