5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Kidd's Guide to Herbal Cat Care, October 31, 2000

By	"wolfmeyer" (Chandler, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I think herbal care is a wonderful way to help heal our furry loved ones. I use herbs to treat some of my problems, why wouldn't I want to do the same for my cats! That is why I feel this is a wondeful book! This book lists all the types of herbs you can use on your cats. I also appreciate how easy the author layed out the different remedies for different conditions. Dr. Kidd also gives us an easy way to figure out doses. I feel good knowing I can turn to this book for help when my cats have any problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE, January 24, 2005

By	Susanna (Florida) - See all my reviews

This book is well written! Dr. Kidd gives great stories from his own experience. I have used a few of his remedies for my cats and they worked. I always consult my vet before using a remedy though. I like to make sure my cat's problem isn't so serious it's life threatening. As long as you are careful about that, then this book is a MUST HAVE. I only wish he went into more detail on some things and had more "concoctions". Also wish he would come out w/ a book on Aromatherapy for pets or have included it in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great down to earth book about cat care, February 27, 2002

By	Maggie M. Howe "[e-mail]" (Adel, IA USA) - See all my reviews

I am very impressed with this book (and the one about Dog care too). I have lots of herb books but this is the first one I've bought about pet care. It's well written, easy to understand, and full of great information. Of course it's not extremely in depth, but gives a great start for anyone just beginning to learn about holistic health for pets. I wish this guy could be our vet!!!
