5.0 out of 5 stars very enlightening and helpful, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

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

By	Jan M. Skadberg - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide To Canine Acupressure, May 27, 2000

By	M Lloyd (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

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.
