Earl Mindell has written several books on herbs and herbal remedies, unfortunately this latest contribution shares many of their faults. The authors do not specify which part of the plant is used for many remedies and very small research is presented to support their use. Through out the book I had the sinking feeling that there had not been enough plotting given to how dog physiology differs from human physiology. The skeptical reader may want to check out the quackwatch website for more in rank on Mr. Mindell’s other books.

My dog was diagnosed with cancer. As I grew up with him and like him very much,..I read every book I may possibly find on cancer. It’s vital for me to strengthen his immune system. With all of my homemade dog food, dog vitamins, shark cartilage, flax seed oil, vitamin C pills,..etc. I found it extremely helpful to have a book that informed me of the right amounts of vitamins and such for a small dog. This is very vital as no other book I found had this for dogs. The main negative I saw in this book was having so much of it dedicated to listing many dog breeds and the health problems that are common to them. In some way I though this may possibly have been more concise(like a chart with a check next to the breed that corresponded to the ailment),..and my one dog only fit into one breed(and had none of the problems listed for the breed,..though I may possibly see where it may possibly help someone in looking for a new dog, or in plotting what to guess and watch for..),..so the consequence and cost of the book contained a large percentage(1/2 the book) of what didn’t apply to my dog. But, the rest of the book is so valuable. I break down human vitamins into the amounts not compulsory by him(if you do this be careful of hidden ingredients,.. or vitamin E repeats etc.). Fantastic book to have and follow for any dog owner.

I must have about 20 books on dog care, health, nutrition, etc and this book is one of the most matter-of-fact so far. I would highly urge this as a must have for any dog owner. It covers nutrition but also vaccinations, fle treatments, common conditions in dogs and nutritional support. This is a concise, simple to read book with in rank that you can really use whether you feed your pet commerical or homemade diet.

I originally read this book so I may possibly get a recipe to make dog treats. But, I found myself drawn into the other chapters on flea control and nutrition.
Even as I would not go so far as following a vitamin regime or homeopathic treatment for dogs (I don’t even do that for myself!) I found the in rank on the content of “average” dog food, treats and flea control very helpful in making consumer decisions.
I would agree with a previous review that Mindell does depend heavily on human physiology for his nutritional and medical advice for dogs. He also tends to be a bit “preachy” in his commentary on canine health.
But, commonly reported scientific studies on canine nutrition is gone and none of the human-based nutrition regimes he presents would hurt a dog (only be a bit more pricey and/or time consuming.)So why not err on the safe side?
Moreover, I have had fixed vets (non-hollistic)urge some of the flea treatments he suggests; so something must be working.
When you learn the shocking ingredients in dog food and flea control you’ll be glad you read the book and were offered some alternatives.
Oh, and my dogs absolutely loved the treats!

Ordinarily I would not provide a review, but, I am aghast at the only review you have on this website that was provided anonymously. It seems that they were not sufficiently confident in their convictions to even identify themselves!
This book is not proposed to provide herbal remedies for dogs. It is a simple no nonsense approach to providing the reader a basic understanding of the nutritional needs of dogs. It starts out with a excellent description of the problems with commercial foods and some excellent reasoning for preparing your own dog’s meals. It then provides the basics of what dogs will need in terms of nutrients. It also provides some excellent advice about more natural approaches to combating fleas. He observably believes in giving dogs the basics for a strong immune system which will help to stave away many ailments that might be linked to poor commercial nutrition.
This should not be the only or the first book you buy when looking into canine nutrition, but, it is certainly a valuable tool to make part of your library.
