Product Description
Based on seven years of working with companion animals and people, this handbook provides tools and techniques for creating an environment in which pets and their owners can happily coexist and thrive. Focusing primarily on dogs, cats, and horses (but relevant to virtually all animals), the book posits a dual premise: healthy companion animals are better equipped to help the humans they love, just as educated humans are better able to comprehend what their animals are about. The goal is to provide pet owners with a starting point from which they can foster and practice deeper interspecies communication. ... Read more

It is a great entry book.
I have read and purchased much better books on the pet care, diets and communcation with animals, but this book is easy reading and will get you started quite well.

Great intro to holistic companion animal care
I bought this book on a whim after reading about animal communication.Each subject that the book covers could of course be (and probably is currently) the full subject for yet another book, but it was a great intro to animal communication, raw feeding and the Bach flower essences.I read it in a day and was intrigued enough to buy another of the authors' books.Mind you, this is a book for people who are quite open-minded and seriously into their companion animals.Not at all traditional ways of taking care of animals, but certainly something worth looking into if you can open your mind a bit.

Engaging, informative, and applicable to Humans as well as our Pets
I honestly don't have the time to read all the books I buy within the time period that Amazon sends out the survey, so I will say this review is based on some sheepish quick skimming of the first few chapters. As I read the excerpts, I am getting sucked into reading this a bit more... of course, the book IS for the demographic of pet owners that are willing to spend $40 on a 17lbs bag of cat food. =)

P.S. I recommend Innova, but the NaturaPet company has several good lines. Regular pet stores carry some organic lines, after this brand (special pet stores) Newman Organics is the next in quality, followed by the By Nature and Naturals in regular Pet stores.

Holistic feeding for animals basics
This is a useful book with information not available elsewhere which gives you info not only on a healthy, natural approach to feeding animals, but specificsfor different breeds.We are killing our pets with dried kibble, and this book tells you not only why this is so, but gives you alternatives.

Don't waste your money!
The authors of this book basically think that they are animal psychics. Red alert! Right away that tells you something...their whole book is filled with nonsense about communicating with your pet telepathically and teaching holistic care and feeding. They also talk about herbal remedies, which was somewhat interesting, but, thinking realistically, I wouldn't use them.

Overall, this book has very little substance to it. There was not much at all to be gleaned from it. I knew most of the information already without reading this book. To sum it all up: it was a thin read, and very disappointing at that. ... Read more
