The Allergic Pet: Holistic Solutions to End the Allergy Epidemic in Our Dogs and Cats (CompanionHouse Books) Relieve Itchy Skin, Hot Spots, Vomiting, Food Sensitivities, and More Caused by Allergies

by Deva Khalsa

Learn how to help your pet from a pioneer in holistic veterinary medicine! Understand what is bothering your cat or dog, why pets have allergies, and what you can do about it! Inside these 224 pages, Dr. Deva Khalsa, VMD, shares her invaluable knowledge on how to alleviate your pet's allergies and food sensitivities effectively and permanently. You'll learn how to strengthen your pet's immune system — not with the use of expensive surgery, invasive techniques, or pharmaceutical drugs, but instead with natural recommendations and holistic solutions. Take Dr. Khalsa's advice to heal your pet and keep them in good health, happy, full of energy, and showing off their healthy, shining, smooth coat. Our furry friends suffer from allergies as much as we do, and allergy season sadly seems to run throughout the year. For cats and dogs that suffer from allergies, they could have many symptoms from itchy skin and ear infections to severe gastrointestinal issues including diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation. Of course, you can take your dog or cat to a conventional veterinarian who might prescribe expensive supplements and ointments for allergies in pets. But Dr. Khalsa's book might be the right "prescription" for you and your pet. Having developed her methods over decades of practice and study, Dr. Khalsa combines wholesome nutrition and holistic therapies with traditional veterinary medicine. She uses alternative methods, such as herbal remedies and botanical medicine. The Allergic Pet features detailed explanations of the author's innovative and life-changing allergy-elimination technique for trying to diagnose the root of the problem in your pet. It offers useful advice for cat and dog owners on food choices, hot spots for infections, ringworm, scabies, intestinal parasites, vaccinations, and more. It suggests holistic health therapies for keeping your pet healthy and strengthening their immune system, thereby avoiding the use of surgery or pharmaceutical drugs. It even goes into detail on food sensitivity and the considerations you should make when it comes to your pet's diet, along with nutrition advice and recipes for allergic pets. If your dog or cat suffers from allergies, this is a book you will want to refer to again and again! "[Dr. Khalsa's] years of experience with holistic therapies and energetic nutritional diets have given her invaluable information necessary to teach everything owners want to know to maintain optimum health, quality of life, and longevity for their pets."
—Joanne Stefanatos, DVM, author of Animal and A State of Blessedness "[Dr. Khalsa's] holistically integrative approach to health maintenance and treatment is a welcome contribution to the advancement of veterinary medicine and the good of dogs around the world."
—Dr. Michael W. Fox, veterinarian, syndicated columnist, and author of Dog Body Dog Mind "Khalsa shows how simple dietary changes can make a big difference to your dog's quality of life and how to address health issues without turning to chemicals or pharmaceuticals."

Useless!!

[Caitlin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Has some good information and good recipes but not much provided for the length of the book. Recommend finding other resources to go with it; doesn’t answer all the questions you may be looking for.
