Product Description

Many people would rather treat their pets with natural therapies - they are cheaper, safer and less traumatic for the animal. This text covers eight healing methods and then deals with 50 common complaints and diseases, supplying and describing in detail their remedies in each of the eight areas. The book uses nutrition, naturopathy, food supplements, herbs, homeopathy, acupuncture and acupressure, flower essences and gemstones. The charts and tables list and describe the healing methods, and the book includes an appendix "Crystal Work with Animals" by Marion Webb-DeSisto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective and practical self-help treatments, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This book is very well organized and extremely easy to understand for the layman. Using the techniques suggested in the book I was able to cure my 12 year old cat from a 2 year bout with diabetes. The book descibes a variety of natural healing techniques that can be employed to deal with a wide range of ailments that pets often contract. There's no hocus pocus about this book, it's strictly a how to do it manual. I heartily recommend this book to anyone with an open mind to the power of herbs, acupuncture, massage and good nutrition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Remedies that Really Work!, January 3, 2000

By	Karla Hansston (Madera, CA) - See all my reviews

I ran across this book when my elderly dog was diagnosed with a heart murmur and heart disease. When conventional medicine couldn't help I decided to give natural medicine a try. I used some of the remedies suggested for heart disease and was frankly astounded at his improvement. We were very happy to have him with us for 5 more years than I expected. The book is easy to understand and ailments and their remedies are listed in alphabetical order in the back of the book. This is really a must have for every dog and cat owner that wants to find out how they can improve the health of their pet naturally.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too in depth for the Average Dog Owner..., May 27, 2005

By	Stylin (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book thinking that it would give me simple at home remedies (like cooking white rice and chicken for digestive ailments)...Um, not quite.
It is definitely "holistic", meaning most, if not all, the remedies call for ingredients not found in the typical (even holistic) household. Fresh/ Raw Bayberry, Bach flowers, Red Clover, Calendula, Devil's Claw, Goldenseal etc - not the liquids or pills, but the fresh herbs. Sorry, but I don't have fresh herbs just laying around the house and you can't find them at your local health food store either.
Needless, to say I haven't tried any of the remedies, but I have found it useful for info purposes. For instance, the book recc putting boiled Calendula on wounds. Instead I bought a Calendula salve/ointmet and use it for minor cuts for my pet and I. The chapter on dog food/diet is very imformative, and my pet is living proof of what a good dog food can do for your pet.
I think this book would be a good resource for a family that has tried "conventional vet" medicine with no relief, and is looking for an alternative form of disease treatment.
