    Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats by Diane Stein -- "This book is a must for the pet owner who wants to extend holistic healing methods to the entire household. The author takes pet medicine to a very natural conclusion, drawing on the same New Age therapeutic approaches used for humans. Stein shows how to use nutrition, vitamins, minerals, massage, herbs, and homeopathy to promote pet health."
    The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat by Juliette De Bairacli Levy, Faber and Faber -- "This book is dedicated to her Turkuman Afghan Hounds who "have never known disease." As always, Juliette is opinionated, uncompromising, cantankerous, and a tad eccentric, but also full of wisdom and vast amounts of valuable info, and every one of her books makes a fascinating read. The first section of this book deals with nutrition (she emphasizes the importance of feeding a raw diet), breeding and natural rearing (no vaccines, insecticides, etc.) while the second part deals with herbal remedies for everything from mange to distemper. Of course most of her suggestions are out of synch with current veterinary advice, but our own naturally reared Wirehaired Pointers and many other dogs like them are living proof that her methods work -- extremely well."

Schultze, Claire Carr (Illustrator), Sandra Millers-Younger (Editor) -- "This book is your reference on how to provide an optimal quality of life for your dog or cat. Easy to read and easy to understand nutritional information. Blank menu and food diary pages allow reader to plan the perfect natural diet for their particular pet."

    Psychic Rachel S. Kohler, MsD. -- Many times there are questions that people have as to medical, emotional or physical, issues of their pets. Some times all the usual paths have been exhausted and it is thought that there is no where else to go for answers. In her own words on "animal communication", "You will have an "open channel" to communicate with the animal to determine if there is a health problem, an emotional upset, or psychological problem. In the communication process, I will also analyze the issue and give you sound solutions and advice. For example, your pet may have an undiagnosed illness, and I will present the symptoms to you to follow up with proper veterinary care. I can actually go into the pet's body and psychically "see" what is going on. I am not a veterinarian, nor do I prescribe medication."
