A healthy dog the natural way
The philosophy of holism is to work with nature's principles and look at the whole. This book describes how this approach can benefit the health and welfare of the domestic dog. It covers evolution, man's relationship with the dog, some common breeds, general management and psychology, together with common ailments and their treatment with holistic therapies such as homoeopathy acupuncture and nutritional therapy. Many controversial subjects are raised, including the problems caused in some individuals by the ingestion of certain raw materials in poor quality commercial dog food. It also discusses the medical disadvantages of breeding for the refined physical characteristics which are thought of as desirable by the various breed societies. The book is written for dog owners and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject of holism itself, or any of the other technical material covered. It is intended as an overview of the subject for those who wish to keep their dog in a way that is most compatible with his true nature.
