From the rear cover
PETS / VETERINARY CARE "In this extraordinary volume, author Deborah Straw offers us one of the finest and most essential tools for providing optimum care to the animals we hold dear. I can't thank her enough for that." --Rita M. Reynolds, author of Blessing the Bridge: What Animals Teach Us About Death, Dying, and Beyond "The Healthy Pet Manual is a must-read. This book considers all facets of our pets' health, including their emotional needs, and thus is a refreshing approach to keeping our four-legged friends healthy. Two paws up!" --Randy Grim, author of Miracle Dog, subject of the book The Man Who Talks to Dogs, and founder of Stray Rescue of St. Louis "Deborah's The Healthy Pet Manual deals openly with the changing world of animal healthcare including the causes of disease, amazing advances in care and treatment, and costs. Her insight is valuable for maintaining a healthy pet and provides a lot of transferable insight into human health." --Matthew "Uncle Matty" Margolis, world-renowned dog trainer and host of the PBS series Woof! It's a Dog's Life Keeping animal companions healthy and happy is the number one priority of pet owners. Having lost four animals to cancer, author Deborah Straw became frustrated by the lack of information about what was causing the disease and wanted to know what she could do to treat and prevent it. This thorough and comprehensive guide is the result of her search for answers. It provides readers with the knowledge of how to ward off the unforeseen causes of cancer and protect the safety and health of their pets. Cancer is the number one killer of most domestic animals. This revised and expanded edition of Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets? includes the most up-to-date information on the environmental, dietary, and vaccine-related culprits that may cause cancer in pets--dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs--and the preventive measures that can be taken against this disease. Readers whose animal companions have been diagnosed with cancer will benefit from the full spectrum of both conventional and alternative treatments presented in this book--from chemotherapy and laser surgery to herbal therapy, acupuncture, and touch therapy. In addition, readers will find guidance about caring for a sick pet and grieving his or her loss should the pet die. Full of information, options, and support, this is an essential resource for protecting pets. DEBORAH STRAW is a longtime animal, health, and lifestyle writer based in Vermont. She is also the author of an ecotourism guide, Natural Wonders of the Florida Keys, and is a widely published essayist.
