Editorial Reviews:

Over 400,000 copies of this treasured classic have been sold since its original publication more than 20 years ago

The book that is the definitive guide to a natural lifestyle for dogs and cats is now completely updated and revised--for the first time in 9 years. Writing with the warmth and compassion that have won them a national following, veterinarian Richard H. Pitcairn and his wife Susan Hubble Pitcairn, noted specialists in chemical-free nutrition and natural healing for pets, show dog and cat owners how to provide the very best in companionship and lifelong care.

They now cover environmental matters, including pollutants both inside the home and out, as well as recent hot-button topics, such as Mad Cow disease, Lyme disease, and the West Nile virus. They've updated dozens of recipes for delicious and healthful pet food and treats. With a guide to handling emergencies and an in-depth "Quick Reference" section, they give specific instructions for preventing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of animal diseases and disorders-with special attention to homeopathic, herbal, and nutritional remedies.



User Comments about the Dr. Pitcairn's New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats

This book is extremely helpful if you are looking for alternative foods for your cat or dog.

A little technical, but great information on high-quality food for your pet. Our 13 year old dog had more allergies than any dog the vet had ever seen. After being on a diet from this book for just a few weeks she has stopped scratching, biting her paws and her arthritis is even better. She used to go to the vet every six weeks for shots, now she hasn't been in a year and is doing great. We make it in bulk every weekend or two and freeze it for the week.

Maybe it's just me but, do you know dogs like to eat bananas. And apples. And that they love carrots. And nuts.These are so healthy for them that I began, as the book advices, adding vegetables and fruits (make sure to check though, some plants--like a potato bush, potatoes are fine, it's the plant that's not--may be poisonous to animals)In just couple of weeks our ten year old labs look so much healthier, their furs are shinier.

If you're looking for a general health care book for your animal, this is great. I was looking for a recipe book for my dog that has a number of food allergies. When I searched Amazon for that, this book came up first. I bought it and it's a great book for holistic care of dogs and cats, but has only a few recipes. If you're looking for a recipe book, this ain't it.

After receiving this book, I realized I bought the wrong book. This book is somewhat difficult to understand. I did continue to read it although. I expected more information.
