Because many natural remedies are ancestors to our modern pharmacopia, care must be taken with all drugs you give your pet. Please use these books carefully and under the supervision of your veterinarian. There is a reason why we are required to attend four years of post-undergraduate medical school in order to prescribe drugs and make medical decisions. All animals are complex organisms who vary widely among species and individuals. Drugs and herbal remedies that may be safe and effective in humans can kill cats and dogs. These species variations are not well understood, especially with regards to herbal medications. For example, onions can be deadly to cats, as can Tylenol (a drug that we feel is safe even for human children). Please don’t leave your common sense at the (e)bookstore door. Saving money on veterinary care by using a book may cost you the life of your pet.

This one book will expose and educate you generally about nutrition and holistic pet care. The downside is that she can’t be an expert in every subject she tries to cover. I was delighted that rabbit care had a place in the book — though a little disappointed that timothy hay as a staple of the diet & for chewing wasn’t mentioned, only raw greens. And also related to rabbits, she got cecotropes mixed up: it’s the moist ones that are destined for re-digestion, not the hard dry ones.
Other than that, she has good information for dogs, cats. A good discussion regarding onions, garlic, and chocolate. Raw food, herbs, vaccine controversies. I enjoyed it, and the interviews with vets.

This book is a wonderful reference book for all pet medical needs. It helps when your vet is not readily available (weekends). It describes many illnesses and conditions, what you can do to help keep your pet healthy.
