Learn How To Have Your Animal Be Healthier

My favorite book on homeopathy for animals is by Don Hamilton. I especially encourage you to read the first chapters, even if you are not using homeopathy, because he clearly teaches you how your animal becomes ill and about the different ways we all respond to treatments - Cure, Palliation and Suppression. He clearly shows you the basic principles of homeopathy which apply to all healing techniques from surgery to acupuncture to drugs to herbs to homeopathy. This is a must read. The rest of the book covers specific problems and he clearly says that the few remedies he suggests for a specific condition may not be the ones your animal needs, as homeopathic remedies are prescribed for individuals, not diseases.

Flea Control: A Holistic and Humorous Approach - Sex, Romance, Intrigue and Practical Ways to Kill Fleas

FLEAS FLEAS I WISH THEY WOULD FLEE - Are you struggling with fleas? We know that healthy animals do not get fleas, yet sometimes....well....we all see those buggers.

I just received and quickly read this incredible book and roared with laughter. It is an incredibly funny and informative book about flea prevention titled Flea Control: A Holistic And Humorous Approach. The first few chapters are about Frances and Freddie, the fleas who star in the book, their life and love affair. They tell us what fleas like (poor, weak, immuno suppressed blood to eat) and what made Freddie leave his host house (dog was, YUK, fed fresh food and supplements so his blood became too healthy to eat). You will want to give this book to all your friends for Christmas.

The Pet Whisperer

Dr. Steve Blake has written The Pet Whisperer ™, which is a book about his friends the animals and their caregivers. The book is filled with true stories about cats to elephants, which he has treated over the past 30 years. You will laugh and you will cry but in the end you will come away with a feeling of HOPE. The stories reflect the feelings of the animals, their caregivers and Dr Blake. He has also included a resource section to help animal lovers find alternative veterinary care and natural products for keeping their pets healthy.

Many of you have read excerpts from Dr. Blake's newsletters that I include in my Healthy Animal Updates. I have known Steve for years and respect who he is as a person. He is very strong on integrity, is so caring to animals and people and, most of all draws great cartoons. He has told me some of the most wonderful stories from his practice. You will be entertained and learn so much about helping your animal companions live a long, healthy and happy life from reading this book.

This book is comprehensive, very easy to read and full of references. Pat tells wonderful stories of goats healed with improved diet, herbs, homeopathy and more. Did you know that you need a stronger fence on the side that the wind blows the strongest? Goats move against the wind - she did not speculate why. One doe with a prolapsed uterus was healed with a few doses of a homeopathic remedy. If you have an interest in raising goats, this is a must.

"... when poor nutrition yielded poor animal health, Coleby was able to prescribe non-invasive, natural remedies that resulted in amazing, seemingly miraculous cures of animals whose cases conventional veterinary wisdom would abandon."
