The New Holistic Way For Dogs And Cats: The Stress-health Connection

by Paul Mccutcheon, Susan Weinstein

Ten Speed Press | November 17, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Stress. It''s the single, universal cause of both wellness and illness. While this theory is widely supported in the human medical community, it''s still controversial among veterinarians. Dr. Paul McCutcheon examines the all-important health-stress connection while drawing upon the latest scientific thinking and combining it with a comprehensive, preventive, and holistic philosophy of pet care. So if you''re among the millions of caring, responsible pet owners who visits the vet more often than your own doctor but still wonders what more you can do for your dog or cat, The New Holistic Way for Dogs & Cats is the next best thing to a consultation with Dr. McCutcheon. If only he saw human patients in his practice, too!

    Must read for all Pet Caregivers!

    HOW EXCITING. Finally a pet care book that is easy to follow and hard to put down. I have recommended to friends within the dog community, as a must read. Learning the approach that Dr. McCutcheon and his staff use regularly to assist an animal in regaining wellness/homeostasis is insightful and touching. Kudos to Co-author Susan Weinstein for recognizing this theory needs to be shared.
    The NEW HOLISTIC WAY is pivotal in how health care should be approached and executed by the pet's people and practitioner
