 Euthanasia is bad and Homeopathy is good? September 8, 2010
Merit
Are we in opposite land? They let a kitten suffer and die needlessly in their home, watching it waste away, rather than doing the right thing and ending its suffering. Their opinion was that it was better to let it die at home than in a strange place, but the description of the animal's final days and moments was horrible and made it obvious it wasn't enjoying life. (It died with its eyes and mouth open, not a very peaceful way to go.) This was the first part of the book I went to, because I had recently lost two pets (yes I euthanized them rather than let them a. waste away to nothing for no apparent reason, and b. starve to death with stomach cancer), and after reading just those two pages, I put the book down in disgust.
Also, homeopathy has not been scientifically proven. I could never take a doctor seriously if the word so much as came out of their mouth.
I cannot recommend this book.

i was surprised at what this book was really like because of the amazing reviews it has received. i assumed it would more of an indepth look into pet care/nutrition. needless to say.. i was pretty disappointed. if someone was interested in how to care for a pet for the first time then yeah, i would say this book is fine to read because this is more of a brief informational guide. but i would never recommend this to anyone that already has a clue on how to care for a pet.

Helped us to move away from dry dog food to home-prepared food. Dogs are already looking better for it.

Louise Basson Author of Winter Dogs; Living with Huskies as pet dogs
This book is invaluable to me. It's a must for any pet owner dog or cat. It is mostly based on homeopathy based treatments by Dr Pitcairn the worlds leading veterinarian. It has helped me with my own dogs numerous times in emergency situations as well as with chronic conditions.
I have had clients phone me asking advice from me as I have learned so much from reading this book and using it as a quick reference. This can make the difference you need in a moment that your pet is injured and going to the vet. It also contains use full information on BARF diets for cats and dogs.
Best, most complete canine nutrition reference book on my shelf July 23, 2010
