The

and Cat
This book was written by (veterinarian) Dr.
Martin Goldstein and published by Knopf in April 1999. This paperback version was
published in June 2000. If there is only one book that you ever buy for your cherished
canine companion, this is the one! It is a groundbreaking, inspirational guide that no pet
owner should be without. Dr. Goldstein actually shows you what and what not to do and the
whys behind these decisions. He details his success treating cancer and leukemia,
utilizing acupuncture and homeopathic medicine. His incredible "Alphabet of
Ailments" tackles common problems one by one in a clear and effective manner. Dr.
Goldstein also addresses the power of the mind-body connection when we think about what
provokes and how we cure disease. In his comforting way, that comes from being in
veterinary practice for 25 years, he offers his wisdom on dealing - both physically and
psychologically - with the death of our most cherished companions. Finally, there is a
comprehensive source guide which lists pet health-care centers, doctors, and products. In
that way, you will be able to act on the advice and recommendations in this
"I-can't-put-it-down" book.

the pet food industry what Rachel Carson was to the petro-chemical pesticide
industry. "Gar Smith of "Earth Island Journal," wrote, "Ann Martin's
book rips the curtain off one of the most suppressed news stories of the decade...It took
courage and amazing persistence to write this astounding book." New update discusses
the contents and manufacture of commercial pet foods. Claims that pet foods contain road
kill, contaminated meat, toxic chemicals, and so on. Also has a fairly large section of
nutritious, easy recipes for homemade pet foods and other tips for healthy pets. Recipes
