Alternative Pet Care for Everyone

This book is a constantly used handbook for me. I bought this copy to replace the one that I have given away most recently. It is wonderful to be able to help your pet feel better, in addition to what your vet can do, with relatively inexpensive remedies available at the health food store and with accupressure which also helps you bond with your pet. I was even able to get remarkable results from an inexpensive & common TCM patent remedy for my dog who had great difficulty moving her hindquarters after a life-threatening infection. it worked within hours!

4 Paws great resource

Not necessarily the easiest book to follow for the lay person, but this book contains very comprehensive information on treating your whole dog rather than just a specific symptom.

Practical & Comprehensive

This is an excellent reference book for both beginners & experts. It is well organized, easy to understand & contains a wealth of information.

Not for Doctors of TCM (There Are Better Books)

Although I must say that this is a well-written book, and very useful for those people who don't know much about Traditional Chinese Medicine, the author did not seem to have an in-depth knowledge about TCM.

Filled with little mistakes that can mislead a practitioner, I'd recommend picking up a different text to learn from. (For example, the author refers often to "Kidney Blood," which is NOT a term used in Chinese Medicine.)

Fun to read, but too inaccurate for an alternative medical doctor.

Empower yourself and help your pet with TCM

If you want to get empowered to understand Traditional Chinese Medicine and help your cat or dog, this book will launch you into orbit with theory, charts, and information you can put to work quickly with acupressure massage, diet and supplements. The diagnosis charts are a great starting point for training yourself to observe your pet's symptoms. The only negative for me is that hypertension and blindness are not in the index.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

Suitable for animal lovers seeeking an alternative to Western medicine, and students of veterinary science, this book places special emphasis on uncomplicated approaches to acupressure and diet that can be done by the reader at home. The book colour portraits which accurately chart the meridians and acupressure points.
