Review

People are taking more responsibility for their own health today and this trend is carrying over to their pets. They are learning about nontoxic pet diets, massage/touch techniques, homeopathy, acupressure, etc., so this book will fill a knowledge gap and enable owners to further empower their pet health care abilities. -Dr. Hank Kostecki, DVM -- Dr. Hank Kostecki, DVM

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the lay person but I wouldn't recommend all, January 9, 2003

This review is from: The Well Adjusted Dog: Canine Chiropractic Methods You Can Do (Paperback)

Good, thorough explanation of chiropractic in relation to dogs. Good illustrations that help you understand the mechanism of the adjustment. As a chiropractor, I appreciate the detail Dr. Kamen goes into regarding adjustments; however, the typical dog owner may not be able to identify serious medical conditions that would be aggravated by performing a chiropractic adjustment versus a simple malalignment or "subluxation" that would respond very well. Good basic book to look at if you're thinking of taking your dog to an animal chiropractor. Great book to understand what it's all about and how your pet may benefit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goin' to the Dogs, February 5, 2003

This review is from: The Well Adjusted Dog: Canine Chiropractic Methods You Can Do (Paperback)

This book has saved my dog's dignity on more than one occasion. There truly is nothing more gratifying than finding the trouble spot, based solely on observing my dog's behavior, and then being able to refer to this wonderful book for stretching and therapeutic techniques that allow my dog to feel wonderful, almost instantly. I have bought this book for at least 3 of my dog owning friends who swear by it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who drew this thing????, November 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Well Adjusted Dog: Canine Chiropractic Methods You Can Do (Paperback)

I expected so much more based on previous reveiws (and price). This small book (yes, it has 163 pages, but it's only 5"x7") has line drawings that are so crude and childish they are useless. Utterly useless. Since this book is about canine chiropractic--knowing specifically where and how you touch the dog is vital to doing the adjustment correctly. You can't tell what the drawings are attempting to convey and have to go solely by the text which is more detailed than the pictures, but I feel the book really needed both to be of any use.
