This is a list of books I recommended on holistic methods for dogs. By purchasing from here you help Weimaraner Rescue, so please buy directly from these links, as I don't get credit for what you buy from Amazon's homepage. Thank you.
I understand this list of books is long, but I've tried to include as many different modalities as possible and books of different levels to suit different needs. Please note that some books might not be strictly directed to animals, but I recommend them as very interesting reading for anyone interested in a healthy life and the same principles may apply to our dogs. Also, please note that some of my recommendations are not strictly about holistic methods, but other topics that I deem fundamental to a sound dog. If you're new to this and don't know where to start, please join the Holistic Weimaraner Mailing List, we'll be glad to answer your needs. I have marked with those books that I personally highly recommend and I find a MUST HAVE for the beginner as well as the more advanced - it may or may not agree with amazon's rating, nor does it mean that I do not recommend the rest (if this were the case, they wouldn't be here), it's simply a reference for a starting point. I have also included recommendations from other people on the list, and a list rating on some of the books. Those that people on the list already have read, are rated from 1 (extremely useless) to 5 (extremely useful/excellent). Dolores Sánchez-Peñalver

 

The list of books has gotten so long that I've decided to separate the following sections in different pages - please use the links to move to other sections:

by Martin Zucker

Book Description
You probably feel like you know everything about your cat and his needs, but chances are there's a lot you aren't aware of.

Veterinarians from around the country offer information and opinions to help you determine what's best for your cat.
