A guide to better natural pet care© Pat Williams

When I was approached to review this book I was a bit hesitant, thinking it was just another fix it health book. After scanning through, I was so pleased with what I saw I immediately started to read from the beginning.
Most pet health books are based on old principals that in many cases have proven to be problematic. Allergies, skin problems, obesity, and over all poor health have been plaguing pet owners for a long time now.
Keeping our pets healthy and happy is our best defense and Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide To Natural Health For Dogs & Cats is a fantastic guide in that direction.
The book covers all aspects of pet ownership, from deciding what type of pet fits you and your family, natural health care, nutrition, and the responsibility of owning a pet. I found the text easy to follow in a clear language that anyone can understand. This book is a must have for every cat or dog owner. I highly recommend reading this book before you put it on the shelf.
