Reader Review
As a student of TCM and animal nutrition consultant I can't recommend Dr. Schwartz' book highly
enough. You simply couldn't ask for a better introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine for cats and
dogs. In the first section, Dr. Schwartz introduces us to the theory behind TCM. She explains the basics
of the Five Element Theory, the Meridians, the Eight Principles, and the Vital Essences in a way that is
easy to understand even without prior knowledge of TCM.
Section two begins with a chapter on diagnosis using the Traditional Chinese physical exam. In the
following chapters, Dr. Schwartz introduces the primary holistic therapies used in TCM: Herbology, Food
Therapy, and Acupressure/Acupuncture (emphasis is on acupressure and this chapter is illustrated with
color photos of dogs and cats depicting the meridians as well as acupressure points).
In section three the information from sections one and two is applied to correct a variety of health
imbalances. Dr. Schwartz recommends herbs (Chinese & Western), dietary modifications, nutritional
supplements, and acupressure points for health conditions/imbalances involving the eyes, ears, nose
and upper respiratory system, teeth and gums, lungs, heart, liver and gall bladder, spleen/pancreas and
stomach, kidneys and urinary bladder, large intestine, bones and muscle, skin, and the immune system
and glands. It's wonderful to see a book on natural remedies that focuses on correcting the underlying
imbalance instead of simply using herbs and supplements to eliminate symptoms. Highly
recommended!

K9 Complete Care is a remarkable book aimed at the owners, trainers and handlers of working dogs,
although there is much here for pet owners as well. Authors Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak, themselves
experienced with training and handling working dogs and the authors of numerous K9 training books,
provide a detailed overview of caring for a working dog. They begin by looking at whether dogs should be
trained for work, and what considerations should apply before a dog is put to work. Safe warm-up and
cool down exercises are offered, as well as ways to improve the K9's general fitness level and ability to
endure the stresses of K9 work. There is also a chapter on the dog's ability to endure extremes of heat
and cold, and ways to prevent illness and injury from working in such extremes. The authors then look at
the normal functioning and care of various areas of dog health, like skin, coat, eyes, ears, nose, teeth,
feet and anal and genital areas. Each section also includes information on common diseases and
parasites, as well as possible injuries and ailments and how to handle them. The book concludes with
a chapter on basics such as taking a dog's temperature and other vital signs, administering medication,
and care for injured or ailing dogs, and another chapter on older K9s and suggestions to help keep the
working dog healthy for as long as possible.

- OK! I know I have said this before but if you are a pet owner you need this book!! If you are sick of
everytime you go to the Vet you come home with at least a $200.00 bill and don't even know what is
causing your pet to be ill, you need this book!! Honestly since I have purchased this book I have not been
back to the Vets other than to have my at the time 8 month old Yorkie fixed. I'm now because of this book
treating my pets with holistic natural remedies. My Sheltie had diarrhea, I treated it with
recommendations from this book. My Yorkie would not stop scratching this summer and he did not have
fleas. I treated him recommendations from this book. My 18 year old Manx cat started to lose a ton of
weight. I went to this book for help. All of a sudden my Sheltie started to chew a spot on his foot. Again I
got out the book. Actually I never put it away!! I love and need this book!! You will too!!
- This book is really useful for learning the uses and effects of different herbs and supplements. One of
the best things about this book is how it's organized. One section lists ailments, each one with a
description, treatment options, and listing of natural remedies. A second section lists all the natural
remedies, what they can be used to treat, and how they work. I didn't find the nutrition section very useful,
but I would definitely recommend the book for it's extensive ailment and remedy listings.
