Synopsis Newly updated, this essential book for any caring pet owner covers everything from fresh food diets to alternative therapies for common pet ailments. Dr. Pitcairn, a holistic veterinarian, makes a solid argument for a simple grain-based diet and natural remedies. His extensive research is backed up by his often humorous and touching stories of dogs and cats that his methods have saved. In addition to recommending a chemical-free diet and natural health treatments, the book gives exercise routines, suggestions for creating a safe, toxin-free environment for your animal, and even a chapter on helping your pet die with dignity. The second half of the book features an extensive A-to-Z list of common pet illnesses and their holistic treatment options, including preventive treatments. The book uses graphs and illustrations to make the more technical concepts clear and easy to follow.
