"What a marvel! This is a wonderful, deep, absolutely perfect book! You cannot read a page without being informed, challenged, and changed. I particularly appreciated the section on vegetarianism--the fact that many dogs blossom and become more peaceful when they don't eat meat. I am honored to be quoted in this information-packed gem of a book." ---Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Ph.D., author of When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love
"In all my years of veterinary practice, never have I read a more sensitive, intelligent and compassionate book. If you want the very best for your dog, you will read this lovingly written and accessible reference over and over again. All the information, advice and guidance you will ever need to guarantee the healthiest and happiest life possible for both you and your companion fill these pages. If ever there was a book that says it all, this is the one--a must read for veterinarians and their clients." ---Elliot Katz, D.V.M., President, In Defense of Animals
"A thorough guide that seamlessly integrates the best of both conventional and alternative healing traditions. I was especially interested to see behavior problems viewed from this perspective. Practical and readable without sacrificing scientific accuracy. Should be on the bookshelf of every conscientious animal guardian." ---Jean Donaldson, Director of Education, The San Francisco SPCA, and author of The Culture Clash
"The Complete Holistic Dog Book is an excellent resource for all dog lovers. It provides a wealth of information that will benefit all our Kindred Spirits. It is a wonderful contribution to the world of holistic animal healing." ---Allen M. Schoen, M.S., D.V.M., Director, Veterinary Institute of Therapeutic Alternatives, and author of Kindred Spirits
"We found this book to be invaluable for anyone wanting to raise a healthy dog in a natural lifestyle. Well organized, clearly written, this superb book is the best on the subject." ---Making Scents magazine
"This is definitely one of the best books I've seen on holistic care for dogs. The authors are a holistic health animal care consultant/teacher and a veterinarian who is also a certified acupuncturist specializing in combining alternative therapies with conventional medicine. The result of their collaboration is enlightening, educational and easy to read." ---Alaska Wellness magazine
