A Healer In Every Home: Dogs & Cats: Top tips for healthy animal care from a pioneering holistic vet and a holistic animal shelter director

This book has been a simply fabulous resource for caring for my puppy, from treatment for a mundane scrape to an intervention for doggy agoraphobia. My puppy is 7 months old and my husband and I adopted him at 4 months, just after he was rescued from a backyard breeder. Before he was rescued, our puppy had never been outside the yard or even up any stairs. He adjusted well to living with us and was yard-bound until his vaccines took effect. When it was finally safe to go out and about in our neighborhood, my husband and I were beside ourselves with excitement for our puppy, but our puppy was just plain scared. His tail was between his legs and he seemed very ill at ease until we got him back in our yard. We worked with him for many weeks on getting comfortable going for walks, but the problem seemed to get worse and worse. Some days he just wouldn't leave our yard at all; other days he was 'scared of his own shadow' at every turn while going for a walk. I bought "A Healer in Every Home" and read it in one sitting. I read that Aconite can help with fright and had some at home from my own homeopathic treatment. I gave my puppy a dose. It was amazing! A half hour later, I opened our gate and he waltzed right out onto the sidewalk. It's been 3 weeks and he hasn't once sat at the gate unwilling to go out.I turn to this book first any time I have a concern about my puppy. Using green tea and calendula on scrapes makes them heal in no time. I clean his ears with green tea too. If he's nervous about something, I keep Rescue Remedy on hand to calm him down. My regular vet provides great mainstream veterinary care, but I'm heartened at the advice from the book to give my puppy some real food as well as supplements, like Alaskan fish oil and probiotics. It is definitely convenient to scoop some kibble from a bag each day, but preparing some real food to complement his dog food and adding some supplements makes a huge difference. My puppy used to leave breakfast untouched or leave part of his kibble in the bowl at the end of the day. Now he licks it clean at every meal. His favorite treat is kale chips. We both snack on them!Thank you so much for writing this book!

Very good book. Has helped me tremendously with holistic ways to help my pets. Has saved us trips to the vet w/issues we were able to take care of at home.

This little book is full of valuable information. A must have in any pet owners home.Love the book!!!!!

I love this book! And use it as a great resource in helping me be a better pet owner. Easy to follow with advice that is explained in terms easy to understand. I helped my aging collie with arthritis, my young Aussie with itching and both of them with anxiety. I love this book so much I just donated it to the local animal shelter!

A good addition to my library on natural health for pets. Has good information on products to use in certain conditions.

I love this book, my go to whenever I see something crop up and before I call my hollistic vet. Often times I'm right on target with what she needs.

The book was reasonably comprehensive and researched well.

Good information, but not quite what I was looking for. I think I wanted specific recipes for my dog that was having health issues. I was looking more for a referencestyle.
