In this practical and entertaining guide, the top veterinarians and animal experts in the country offer more than 1,000 effective tips for treating common pet problems, such as: allergies, bad breath, ear mites, fleas, itchy skin, paw problems, teething pain, weepy eyes, and wounds. But, much more than a guide to the physical and emotional problems of pets, The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Dogs and Cats also provides solutions to some of the toughest behavior problems, letting pet owners know when it is necessary to visit the vet–and what they can do until they get there. Since the health needs of dogs and cats are often entirely different, there are also specific tips for both cats and dogs, along with more than 75 easy-to-follow illustrations. Having this ultimate do-it-yourself pet-care book is like having a veterinarian on call 24 hours a day.

EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND
Great book to have in an emergency situation or for just general information like how to cut my dog/cats nails. Every pet owner should have this book.

Knowledgeable
Taking a dog to the vet these days is very expensive. I have a 14 year old springer that has all sorts of problems. I plan to try some of these remedies especially for getting her coat healthy.

General paperback reference-relevant for years!
I have been referencing this book for over a decade now, as it is important to look up what you need to know before having to wait to go to the vet. General information covers basic health issues and behaviors of your cats and dogs. A book is so much easier for me to reference than the internet (where I don’t believe most of what I read). For more advanced pet health issues — I still ask the vet and research online — but only the most accepted resources!

Easy to prepare food.
I found that I ended up combining parts of recipes to get what worked for my dog.
Nurse Susie –
Fantastic book for my cats!
The home remedies are excellent! It tells everything you need to know about anything that happens to your fur babies. This is a must for animal owners! Itâs a great buy! You gotta get this one.

What material is good?
What I donât like about this book is, it is tiny and thick, therefore very difficult for people like me, the elderly, to read and hold onto
