Homeopathic Care for Cats & Dogs

Fast shipping, book was in even better condition than expected.

Homeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs is encyclopedic in scope, clearly written and beautifully organized. Dr. Hamilton begins with a succinct overview of the history of homeopathy, from its origins in 18th century Germany through its rise, fall and resurgence in 20th century America. He outlines the principles and philosophy underlying homeopathic treatment, and explains its basic concepts in accessible language anyone can understand. Dr. Hamilton examines the nature of health, disease and cure, drawing a contrast between “conventional” or allopathic medicine, and homeopathy. He explains that while allopathic medicine relies upon a theoretical approach that equates symptoms with the disease itself, homeopathy utilizes an empirical method of careful observation of each individual patient.

This authoritative book provides lucid, detailed advice for using homeopathic medicine to help your companion animals at home, along with clear guidelines for when to seek professional help. Specific information is provided on taking the case, choosing and administering the remedy, and evaluating progress. Chapters on organ systems (skin and ears, digestive system, respiratory system, etc.) include suggestions for remedies appropriate to various conditions, as well as a helpful summary recapping the most important concepts. One chapter explores the complex issue of vaccination, and another examines the philosophical and psychological reasons we keep companion animals. Finally, the book incorporates an excellent materia medica describing commonly used homeopathic medicines.

Dr. Don Hamilton brings to his veterinary practice and to this luminous book an open-minded, compassionate, holistic perspective. The book incorporates his comprehensive understanding of both conventional Western veterinary medicine and classical homeopathic healing, gleaned from more than thirty years of practice. I have found this book to be a treasure-trove of useful and fascinating information, and can recommend it without reservation to anyone looking for a better way to help your animal friends.

I have had many cats through out the years. Like people they tend to have issues with their health as they get older or if they have an accident. I found this book researching an alternative to avoiding kidney disease. Most Vets that I have taken my cats to have given them IV’s, drugs or just in general stated there was nothing they could do but put the cat to sleep. Great!, most of the time I have a large expensive Vet bill but no help for my cat. This is very frustrating so I researched alternative solutions for cats and found this book. I found out most cat food is rancid (canned cat food) and does more harm than good. The author recommends a vitamin, mineral powder that he formulated to be added to high quality dry food if you are going to feed your cat dry food. I purchased it and mixed it in with the high quality (no fillers or toxic chemical added to the product). I have also started to cook organic chicken to add to my cats diet along with the dry food (mixed with the mineral, vitamin mix). I have noticed that my cat looks more fit, lost a few pounds he had gained when eating canned cat food. This book also helps with suggestions on how to maintain your cats teeth. I have encouraged my friends with pets to purchase this book.

The product was in excellent condition (like new) and arrived as promised. I am already devouring the information in the book and it is very helpful.

I like this book so much! It’s a great source to care for your pets naturally rather than poisoning them with traditional chemicals

Without any doubt the best book for a solid introduction to homeopathy!
Read this book, and you will have a strong and decent knowledge about homeopathy. The history of that science is covered, alongside the explanation of all the basics you need to treat an animal with homeopathy (concept of vital force, choice of a remedy, choice of a potency, etc…).
This is a ‘must-have’ for both people who want the best care available for the animals they love and for vets who want a wider approach for the treatment of their patients.
The chapter “A Bigger Picture” is a wonderful reflection on humans and on our relationship to the animals we live with.
