"The
authors wrote this book the same way they care for animals: with patience
and compassion."
West Palm Beach Post
"A
thorough guide that seamlessly integrates the best of both conventional
and alternative healing traditions. I was especially interested to see
behavior problems viewed from this perspective. Practical and readable
without sacrificing scientific accuracy. Should be on the bookshelf of
every conscientious animal guardian."
Jean Donaldson, Director of Education, The San Francisco SPCA and
author of The Culture Clash
