Customer Reviews

If your pet has cancer, this is a MUST!
This is the best book I have seen for pets with cancer or any illness. It is a wealth of knowledge and written by a knowledgeable vet. I have reccomended it to many people who have thanked me repeatedly! You'll be amazed at what's out there for healing cancer in pets. There are so many more options than radiation and chemotherapy (which actually deplete the immune system). This book shows you tips on things that prevent and can reverse conditions, even serious ones. Every pet owner should have this one for sure!

Western and Eastern Therapies for Pets
This is a wonderful book. It clearly addresses topics and makes it easily understood. I will recommend this book to many of my friends and vets in my area and I do plan on purchasing additional copies as gifts.
