Written by a qualified veterinarian, this is a complete and comprehensive guide to health care for cats and dogs, providing invaluable advice on essential aspects of care, such as diet and vaccinations, as well as a guide to holistic treatments.
The first part of the book describes the main lifestyle choices every dog and cat owner makes, whether or not they are aware of them: settling in a new puppy or kitten, vaccination, neutering, diet, finding the right veterinarian, and caring for the ageing animal.
The second part describes the main holistic modalities and their relevance when animals become sick. What they are, how they work, when they are useful, and how to find a practitioner. Also includes chapters on osteopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture, Bach’s flower remedies, and herbal medicine.
The third part of the book discusses a range of common health problems in dogs and cats, both from a conventional veterinary point of view and from an holistic perspective, and aims to help the owner understand the condition they are facing, as well as providing tips on how to supplement their veterinarian’s advice and treatment.

Sensible holistic advice for dog and cat owners
I am delighted with the content, presentation, and style of this book. As an holistic practitioner in the US, I struggle to find texts for my clients. Conventional care books can be overly mechanistic and heavily reliant on pharmaceuticals, while holistic tests tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater, giving solely a negative view of conventional medicine.Dr. Hansen has attained a balance: in evaluating and treating the whole patient, she merges a rational use of conventional medicine with appropriate application and recommendation of complementary modalities. The result is a truly integrative approach, respectful of the needs of the caretaker and the individuality of the patient. Some specific issues discussed, like Angiostrongylus, are not problems in the US, yet the principles discussed are valid for any disease problem.I am particularly appreciative of Dr. Hansenâs clear and direct discussion of three topics where clients (and vets) need more information: diet, vaccination, and neutering. The explosion of information on these topics in the last five to ten years is remarkable. What is equally remarkable is how slowly the information is filtering into mainstream veterinary medicine. Much of the impetus to changing practices in these areas has come from animal guardians who have become aware of the scientific studies. Dr. Hansenâs book consolidates current scientific information and suggests sensible practices.I do not agree with every single word in this book; that would be unrealistic, as each holistic practitioner has a somewhat different approach based on their experience and strengths. I do understand and respect Dr. Hansenâs approach, and support her conclusions and recommendations. This is, at last, a care book that I enthusiastically recommend to my clients.

Excellent!
Really good information on many aspects of caring for dogs and cats, with a preference for natural remedies and compassionate concern. I refer to this a lot. I like the suggested treatments which start easy and work up. Iâm coming now to look to see whatâs next for hip dysplasia. Iâd like to add HomeoAnimal Hip Displasia to her list: all their products are miraculous.

Good for a newby
I have a lot of natural health knowledge for dogs. I was looking for more remedies and knowledge. It just shares the basics. The best part of the book is the homeopathic remedies included.

My pets health and well being is extremely important to me. Have found this book to be a valuable reference and resource of information for my pets (2x rescue puppies). Am very invested in learning and utilizing all natural holistic: techniques (reiki), herbal, essential oils and Flower Bach Remedies. My girls are totally worth it and the better health and well being the less vet visits or costs.

Lots of things I didn’t understand about feeding, for example, were explained clearly here. I love the balanced combination of scientific data, medication and alternative treatment possibilities. It’s really hard to understand the way that veterinary practice works, I think. It’s even more opaque and unexamined than medical practice, at least in the UK, so an animal owner must work pretty hard to be fully informed about all the options available to them. This book has done so much work for you!I just wish I’d had it fifteen years ago when I first started being the adult in charge of pets!

I heard about this book through A Dogâs Life podcasts with Anna Webb. A comprehensive and informative book, a great tool for any dog and cat owner, I would highly recommend it. This book takes you through your cat and dogâs life stages, providing a great insight to the reader. Page formatting results in the book being easy to follow and provides a great understanding into conventional and homeopathic treatments. A must read for any (and any potential) cat and dog owners.
