Editorial Reviews

Review

The authors of this book have done something truly remarkable. They have created a book, as well as a tool, that encourages and teaches a honds-on approach to health. This manual empowers people, giving them the ability to participate in the health and well-being of their dogs. -- Shelly Hawley-Yin, Director, Animal Alliance of Canada

This book does for canine acupressure what my books do for human acupressure, presenting the traditional theory in an easily digestible way and making it very do-able. Just by reading this book and trying the stretches and the point recipes for common problems, you can help your dog's health. -- Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, MA, Author

This book is a contribution to the necessary turn-around in our thinking about life and reactions toward disease and suffering. It is indeed a welcome and much needed addition to the growing library of useful texts and manuals on companion animal care and health maintenance. Additionally, there is benefit for those who discover the power of the healing touch. It is something that we can all give, and refine and in the process we facilitate our own healing and wholeness as we relax, focus and touch --Dr. Michael W. Fox, Author and Veterinarian

About the Author

Over the past 15 years Nancy Zidonis has co-authored acupressure texts and developed equine, canine and feline meridian charts as well as acupressure training programs. She teaches acupressure throughout the US and Europe and is a founding board member of The International Alliance of Animal Therapy and Healing (IAATH).

Amy Snow has combined her professional publications background and experience in the healing arts with her love of all animals in co-authoring this book. When growing up in New York City she longed for a time and place to devote her life to the care and welfare of gentle animals. Teaching acupressure allows her the opportunity to offer people and animals a meaningful way to care for each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars very enlightening and helpful, November 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure (Paperback)
I found this guide to acupressure for pet dogs to be clear and easy to use. It is the only book of its type that I could find, targeted for beginners. I especially liked the lists of specific conditions or problems, and how to treat them. One of my dogs was treated for a hot spot using this book. The relief he got was immediate and evident to everyone in the room. Another dog has benefited from acupressure treatment for joint disease. Both my dogs and I have enjoyed a closer, more satisfying relationship using regular acupressure techniques described in this book. People with an open mind, willing to try something different for their pets, will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up for a much needed canine acupressure book!, November 21, 2004
This review is from: The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure (Paperback)
Well researched, superbly written and easily understood by the beginner, this is the primer for all dog lovers who are striving to improve their animal's health.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a difficult conceptfor most Westerners, and the authors explain the basic principles in a manner that allows we "newbies" to start affecting change in their dog's health immediately after reading their book.
I highly recommend this book to those who are searching for a more holistic approach to their animal's health care.

M Lloyd (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure (Paperback)
Never being familiar with canine acupressure before, I found this book very easy to read and very easy to understand. I read the book and then read it again. The second time I read it I tried a few of the techniques on my dogs. They loved it! I highly recommend this book to any dog owner.
