Finding nutritional data for dogs can be a trying business–and even as much of the in rank in Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog is presented by anecdote, there’s still bounty of worthwhile reading here. Aimed at dog owners that are already honestly committed to nonallopathic forms of health care for their pets, much of the book is based nearly author Wendy Volhard’s Natural Diet. The Natural Diet is honestly labor intensive, as Volhard is the first to admit, but she provides page after page of testimonials that credit the diet with improved temperaments, better activity levels, and exemplary corporal health. Each ingredient in this diet is discussed in depth, so owners not ready to take the step of providing a complete diet from scrape can still learn about potentially valuable supplements, as well as what ingredients to look for in a commercial diet.
Beyond the nutritional in rank provided, there are several chapters that give solid explanations of different types of health care available, including homeopathy, kinesiology, and the five-element theory. For those who still prefer allopathic care for their dogs, the chapters that cover standard lab tests are extremely helpful, finally giving a layman’s guide for urinalysis, blood serum, liver function, and thyroid testing. A glossary defines various terms such as acidosis and hepatic, and each description is easily understandable, even by those with no medical background whatsoever. For puppy owners, the chapter discussing vaccinations is informative–Volhard questions the necessity of many we take for contracted, and suggests several methods for lowering the required number for your pup.
Ultimately, the majority of this book is geared toward folks who are already committed to providing their pooches with alternative health care and homemade food. No matter how fascinating the nutritional concepts presented here, if you aren’t already a right believer it’s not likely that Volhard’s anecdotes will provide you with enough statistical proof to absolutely overhaul your dog’s way of life. –Jill Lightner

I really respected the authors until I read this wacko book. Not a book for the rational.
Rating: 1 / 5
This book has very small rational in rank. The thought that someone can hold food in their hand (you can also just write the name of the food on a card) and touch the dog with their other hand, and determine what is incorrect by having a second person try to press down their arm is preposterous. If you want ancient wives-tails and hearsay, than this is the book for you (and tales about key water). If you want factual and trusty in rank, try the “Dog Owner’s Veterinary Handbook.”

I found the Holistic Guide for Healthy Dog just super and full of helpful in rank and other references. It’s also very simple to read and divided quite nicely.
Rating: 5 / 5
The book was in very excellent shape up as promised, although, the book itself was worthless, absolutely unintelligible. This, of course, was absolutely no fault of the seller.
Rating: 1 / 5
I found this book very confused and trying to look things up in. Maybe if someone just sought after to read it from front to back for fun, it would be okay, but if you’re looking for specific in rank on how to handle a certain disorder, it’s pretty useless and frustrating. Not a excellent reference book.
