    The one book I reference consistently
    I have a variety of books on health for dogs, which I reference often. I noticed lately, however, that I’ve gone to this book first over and over and often I don’t need to look at any of my other books. I usually cross reference material, but I’ve found valididated information from several other sources in this book so often that I save myself the trouble and just reference this book now.Rarely do I find a “the only book you’ll need” in any book, but this one definitely has it all, and the information is not extreme. The authors recognize balance, recognize that there are a variety of methods to attack a problem, and they present each method thoroughly and non-judgmentally.For example, if a dog is vomiting and has nausea, they first differentiate between acute and chronic. If acute, they first give information on nutritional support, then homeopathy, then herbs, then accupressure and finally other methods including flower essences and considering addressing the dog’s emotional state. If chronic, they are just as thorough but give other paths to follow in trying to treat the dog’s vomiting.In addition to concrete suggestions for treating many health problems, very clear and professionally drawn illustrations abound throughout the book. In the section for vomiting, one drawing shows the dog’s digestive tract and another the accupressure points for the digestive tract. When referring to the illustration in the text, the authors also reference corresponding charts and additional illustrations in another part of the book (and give page numbers!) that will further explain information regarding that particular illustration, such as finding the exact meridian point on the dog.The treatments the authors focus on in the book include diet, homeopathy, herbs, accupressure, acupuncture, TCM, bodywork, and energy medicine. The authors touch on a few other areas of therapy but they focus primarily on the topics just mentioned.I found the illustrations to be extremely valuable. They are peppered throughout the book showing parts of the dog that are relevant to the corresponding text. The illustrations aren’t too detailed; they have just enough to explain. They’re clear, concise, and easy to understand.Overall, this is the best comprehensive book on holistic dog care on my shelf. I’m gradually getting rid of the others because they don’t compare at all to the accurately named, “The Complete Holistic Dog Book.”

    Very nice book and well presented!
    I am very impressed with the layout of this book and with how well the authors present each area of interest. The style is much like that of a very easy to follow text book…one that even an average 5th grade student should have no struggles with understanding. Everything is well organized and beautifully presented. Even the illustrated sketches are very well drawn out and educational. –absolutely spectacular!If you desire to know more about holistic care for your dog, then this book will be a wonderful start. The Complete Holistic Dog Book is one of those books that will be an easy and entertaining read for both adults and even children (with a good reading level); yet without pulling away the educational and informative resource this book is. It can easily be read from front to back, by going through each chapter as a “lesson” (or daily/weekly reading goal) or it can be easily used as a guide, for looking up areas of interest.Nothing about this book is intimidating or boring. At the very worst, you’ll most likely enjoy this book as a very good reference guide, that you can refer to for different aspects of your dog’s care. As with any broad range book, I would not recommend this as the only book you’ll ever need on holistic concerns. This is a perfect first book, and it’s very easy to read and understand. This outstanding resource will give you enough information, to help decide if you’d like to learn more on a narrowed interest.

    A holistic approach with science too.
    I found this book extremely balanced in terms of providing feeding information if you are interested in providing fresh food for your dog’s diet. Its good to realize that it can be done without a tremendous amount of extra time and effort. In fact, my husband and I realized that WE don’t eat well enough to just cook a little extra for our dog, as suggested. We were inspired to improve our own diet to include the variety proposed for our dog!After losing our 9 1/2 year old Boxer to cancer, we wanted to take the cancer prevention nutrition suggested by the veterinary oncologist we worked with and combine that with a good whole foods diet for our new Boxer puppy. This book, since it is co-authored by a veterinarian, seemed to give the best all around advice for those wanting to move their pet’s care in a holistic direction, but who also feel more comfortable knowing there is good research and science supporting the advice given. We looked at a lot of books on the subject and truly liked this one.

    Very worthwhile
    The book provides comprehensive lists and categories. I would prefer more specific instructions and how to. A good reference resource. I prefer Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats.

  5. Heather Moon

    Great book for anyone who wants to raise and feed their dog in a healthy well balanced manner. This book has wonderful information for people who love their 4 legged family members.

    My wife and I saw this book first in America and bought it for my daughter, who is very interested in holistic dog therapy. After reading the book she was able to treat a dog successfully for a number of ailments. She is very often called upon to give advice to dog owners regarding their own dogs, and consults the book on a regular basis. She says she would not be without this book and calls it ‘Essential Reading for Holistic Dog Treatments’ and well worth the money….Glad we bought it for her.

    having dealt with cancers in dogs previously,this book is a addition to my shelf of knowledge and go to’s for information.

  9. Lise

    I love this book, its organised well enough to use it as a quick reference, but in depth enough to be thorough, and for you to feel confident using remedies, treatments, and following nutritional guidelines.I do have some good background knowledge in complimentary medicine, but I do feel that someone completely new to it could still follow it, and understand it. I would really recommend it.
