NEWS Product Description
The world of veterinary medicine is changing. People are realizing that if alternative mednatural remediesfor them is best for their pets too. Dogs are visiting acupuncturists, chiropractors, doctors and homeopaths. However, dog owners are unaware that simple measures like changing the diet of their pets and using vitamins, herbs and other natural remedies can help prevent or heal ailments ranging from excessive scratching to depression to a host of illness.
Guide veterinary medicine natural dog is both an introduction and guide to the vast world of natural healing methods, treatments, and foods now available for dogs. Author Martin Zucker offers advice from dozens of holistic practitioners and licensed veterinarians, who share their recipes, ideas and “requirements”. Here dog owners will find information on everything from nutritional supplements to massage therapy and how these treatments can be used alone or in combination with conventional drugs and surgical techniques.
Martin Zucker has interviewed more than thirty holistic veterinarians for this book. They share what supplements, dietary changes, herbs, homeopathic remedies or flower essences they have found to be effective in conditions ranging from arthritis and cancer to parasites and yeast infections. If you’ve been in the natural breeding for a while, some of suggestions will be new to you, but the book is nonetheless a resource Nice.
In addition to the AZ index of health problems Dog and suggested natural remedies, there are concise chapters that present various holistic therapies (herbs, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies, flower essences, acupuncture , chiropractic, and massage techniques), as well as chapters on vaccines / titles and nutrition. However, while it is great that holistic veterinarians interviewed for this book call for fresh food diets, information presented in the chapter on homemade meals is not sufficient to enable anyone to prepare a balanced homemade diet for their dog (s). To balance plans fresh food supply, see the books by Billinghurst, Volhard, or Pitcairn. I also disagree with the section on nutrition bones – in my experience with dog breeding and natural as a consultant in animal nutrition, I found that more fresh, raw, such as chicken bones back or neck that are consumed in their entirety are safer than the big beef bones drive is recommended in the book.

I found this book when I was desperate to help my dog was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur. This book has been an incredible resource for me. I love how all the information on the recommended herbs, diets, etc. are saved with the name of a professional and telephone number (several times). I understand that there is a time for conventional medicine, but I have always been inclined to go alternative “or natural”. After reading this book, I am extremely pleased to say that my dog is incredible and barely a trace of a heart murmur left. My vet even asked me what I had between 6 months for doctor visits such drastic results. If someone cares about their pet, best friend I do, this book will hold the highest honor on your shelf. Please share this information with others.

This wonderful book changed my life and the life of my new puppy for the best. I consulted other documents on this subject before but I could not bring myself to spend money to buy one of them. When I went to the store to look at the book, it was so clear and easy to read. I looked at the chapter on allergies to compare what I saw in other books and has been so complete. An entire chapter, as opposed to a paragraph or a page in another. It’s full of information, products and telephone numbers, where to find a holistic veterinarian. in your area, etc. ect. Each owner of the animal in the world should read this book.
