Reviews for The New Holistic Way for Dogs and Cats: The Stress-Health Connection

I really like the concept of looking at the whole animal from both a medical and an emotional standpoint. The New Holistic Way for Dogs & Cats offers a practical approach using mainstream and non-mainstream methods, along with valuable advice about how we can make our pets' everyday lives less stressful. --TEMPLE GRANDIN, author of Animals Make Us Human and Animals in Translation Before the word holistic became integral to veterinary medicine and practice, Dr. McCutcheon was already there. --Dr. Michael W. Fox, veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and author of The Healing Touch for Cats and Dog Body, Dog Mind Dr. Paul McCutcheon is always ahead of the pack when it comes to the health and wellness of animals. This book is just another example of this extraordinary veterinarian's forward thinking. --Ann Rohmer, host of Animal House Calls Dr. McCutcheon has looked at the problem we all face--stress--and put together a wonderful discussion of how it relates to our relationship with our animal companions, [as well as] protocols to deal with it. --Carvel G. Tiekert, DVM, founder of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
