Product Description
The world of veterinary medicine is changing. People are realizing that if alternative medicine is better for them, it's better for their pets, too. Dogs are visiting acupuncturists, chiropractic doctors, and homeopaths. Still, many dog owners are unaware that such simple measures as changing their pet's diet and using vitamins, herbs, and other natural cures can help prevent or heal ailments ranging from excessive scratching to depression to a host of serious diseases.
The Veterinarians' Guide to Natural Remedies for Dogs is both an introduction and a guide to the vast world of natural healing methods, treatments, and foods now available for dogs. Author Martin Zucker offers advice from dozens of holistic practitioners and licensed veterinarians, who share their recipes, insights, and "prescriptions." Here dog owners will find information on everything from nutritional supplements to massage therapy, as well as how these treatments can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional medications and surgical techniques.

 It's good June 18, 2008

I like this book because it gives your different insights from different vets. For me, every bit of extra information is important as my 4-year Siberian cross just developed sizures of which I was totally unaware. very helpful.

On the heels of the pet food tragedies, this book reinforces my conviction that dogs are meat eaters!
We have lost two "middle age" dogs to cancer. I want to do everything in my power to prevent this from happening to my new pup.
Great book!! December 3, 2007

I learned alot of valuable information in this book. This is a great book to have for anyone who wants the best for their dog. I ordered several books on dogs recently and two of the books were the best of the bunch. This was one of them.
It is a great book for anyone who loves dogs and wants more information on the best ways to care for them. I would definitely recommend this book to dog lovers.
Simple, informative and eye-opening June 27, 2007

 Not the best on the subject June 16, 2007

This book covers nutrition, supplements, herbs, homeopathy, flower essences, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, vaccines, and a list of health problems and how to treat them. I'm not as thrilled with this book as some other readers were. It is potentially useful, but not essential. Instead, I would recommend "New Choices in Natural Healing for Dogs & Cats" and "The Nature of Animal Healing". They cover the same information but more in depth.
What I did find interesting was seeing how each veterinarian had a different treatment plan for a particular disease. While one would treat arthritis with goat's whey, another suggested Chinese herbs. Each vet found success in his or her method, and you can combine methods to suit the needs of your pet.
