Educational and insightful!
I think that humans are becoming more and more focused on wellness and holistic healthcare and I love that this book expands that opportunity to people caring for their beloved dogs, too. We have an aging dog but it is never too late to learn how you can best take care of your pet! This book covered so many more topics than I would have thought to even consider and it is so insightful for each and everyone! Simple and straightforward, I love the way the info is laid out to both inform you about the topic and then also give you a “solution” or recipe of sorts so that you can take action if so desired!

Good book for dog owners
We’ve rescued a dog a few years ago and ever since then my wife has been on it about his health and what we can do to make his life better. Yes we only get him certain foods and certain dog treats that don’t have certain ingredients, so this book was right up the wife’s alley. She really likes looking into more of a natural way to heal our dog. Yeah dad still sneaks him some burgers and steak and every once in a while a bit of a cookie and ice cream.But still pretty good knowledge of stuff that I didn’t think about giving my dog to help him and to keep him looking his best.

Holistic remedies for dogs
This cute, little book is full of information and natural, holistic recipes for caring for dogs. The layout is attractive and easy to read and/or flip through when looking for something in particular. Some of the recipes are really practical solutions that I can see myself using regularly, like the external and internal parasite cleanses, and the calming essential oil suggestions. Other areas might be helpful if my dog were dealing with something specific; and, in fact, itâs the âInjuries, Pain, and Illnessâ section of the book that is the largest focus. In the case of certain illnesses, the book indicates when an emergency veterinary visit may be required.The recipes themselves are simple, but many of them do require some planning ahead as I was not familiar with all of the ingredients, and of those I am familiar with, donât necessarily have them on hand.Iâve learned a lot just reading through this guide, and appreciate the accessibility of having it as a reference, as well as integrating more natural care into our routine.

A pretty nifty guide for natural ways to keep your pet happy and healthy!
This book is really cute and informative, with lots of information about natural food and remedies that can help your pet thrive. I like that the author doesn’t shy away from telling you when traditional medicine is recommended (as with flea and worm treatments), but that you also get a lot of ideas on how to take care of everyday issues with simple, natural things. Love it!

Too much holistic stuff
I’ll start this by saying I generally don’t believe in holistic medicine. Perhaps for coats/paw issues but definitely not for diet/health issues. This book was full of that kind of thing which means it’s just not for me. I do like that it is written by a veterinarian but I just don’t trust most of what is in this book for use on my pets. It’s not a well-regulated market and it’s not well-researched at all either so it may actually work but I’m not willing to try a lot of this stuff on my pet.

Extra soothing comforts to use in addition to your vetâs recommendations
This is VERY holistic. Itâs a little too âherbal medicineâ for me as I prefer evidence-based approaches. Some of the recipes also require ingredients that you wouldnât typically have on hand.However, if youâre looking to make your dog the equivalent of a lemon, ginger and honey tea when theyâre feeling unwell as a soothing comfort, then it could be a good book for you!Itâs relatively informative, but I would only use some of the remedies as supplementary options to whatever my vet recommends.

Good but limited
This is a small book and I found some good information in it but found it pretty basic and limited too. I would have liked expanded recipe options instead of how each area of care pretty much had one. It was worth a read through but it wasn’t as helpful as I was hoping it would be.

Cute book
This is a cute book. Itâs small but it has a ton of useful info, esp on homeopathic ways to care for your pet. I got it for myself as something I can use as a quick reference. But it would also make a great gift for a new dog owner as well. The book has nice illustrations and easy to understand information. The info is short and to the point.
