Laurie's
book is a wonderful guide to
helping your dog fight cancer. ... Laurie uses personal examples from
her experiences with Bullet to guide readers in the right direction in
their own battle against canine cancer. The book also features Bullet's
survival story, proof positive that cancer doesn't have to mean a death
sentence.

The first
canine cancer
book you should read.... It should be on the
suggested reading list for every new
dog owner.
|
This
compassionate and heartfelt book should be one of the
first books the owner of a cancer dog turns to. It will doubtless help
that person feel less overwhelmed and more able to navigate the many
options available.

Outlining the causes and reasons for
canine cancer as well
as outlining preventative techniques that readers can use and outline
to protect their pooch, [this book] addresses care for when the
unfortunate does happen. Very highly recommended for personal and
community reference collections, "Help Your Dog Fight Cancer" is a must
for anyone whose canine companion is diagnosed with a cancer.

This
is an excellent
resource for veterinarians to have available for pet owners and an
excellent book for staff members who are uninformed about cancer
treatment.

The
benefit of this book is not so much in the specific medical
details, but in the support and guidance it provides in navigating the
complicated and stressful world of cancer treatment.

A Must Read If Your Dog Has
Cancer
Ms. Kaplan writes in a clear, concise manner which makes it easy to
understand the roles the oncologist, general practitioner and the
holistic veterinarian may play in the treatment of canine cancer.
Additionally, her love for Bullet shines through with every page; and
the book has tremendous empathy for those in similar circumtances. Ms.
Kaplan remains active in the fight against canine cancer and is a
valuable emotional resource to many caregivers.
|
This
book has been phenomonal -- Laurie Kaplan's advice for assembling
a cancer care team is very helpful, particularly to dog parents who may
be "new" to the worlds of holistic and complementary medicine...
This book gives us
caregivers hope and a real sense of being able to help our canine
friends through this ordeal. Laurie also emphasizes that the degree to
which each of us decide to treat (or not to treat) our pets' cancer is
a personal matter, with no "wrong" decisions. I highly, highly
recommend this book -- three cheers to Laurie Kaplan!!

your beloved pet has cancer. This

Ms. Kaplan does not
sugar coat dog cancer ... I expected a maudlin,
touchy-feely piece about a dog who made it because of faith and
perseverance. Instead, I found a well written, exhaustively researched
book that covers all the bases.
|
 It's
like
having a calm, friendly, no-nonsense person sitting next to you,
explaining everything you could possibly want to know about cancer in
dogs, from possible-and-avoidable causes to treatment options to home
care to moral, emotional and financial considerations. If you own dogs,
you can't count on never
having one diagnosed with cancer. Buy this book now. Read it for the
inspiration and have it ready in case you need it.

A nice overview of a tough
topic with expert advice
As a holistic veterinarian and
author (8 Weeks to
a Healthy Dog, The
Allergy Solution for Dogs, the award-winning The Natural Health Bible
for Dogs & Cats, and the upcoming The Natural Vet's Guide to
Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs,) I appreciate a frank
discussion regarding a difficult topic. This timely book offers the
experience of a pet owner who faced the challenge of pet cancer as well
as veterinarians who deal with this horrible disease on a daily basis.
This book presents a good overview which will allow pet owners to make
the best decisions for their pets.

[Help Your Dog Fight Cancer] offers
helpful advice on treating life-threatening illnesses among dogs, even
as it demonstrates on a deeper level how much pets have become part of
the human family....The book examines dietary options, ways to handle
side effects from treatment like hair loss, swelling and vomiting, and
it examines the most common types of cancers that dogs are likely to
develop.

Very highly
recommended for personal and community reference collections, "Help
Your Dog Fight Cancer" is a must for anyone whose canine companion is
diagnosed with a cancer.

The
best resource we can
recommend is the book by Laurie Kaplan: Help Your Dog Fight
Cancer. What’s
nice about Laurie’s book is that she tells you what she did to
help Bullet, but also tells you what other options are out there, the
types of
drugs commonly used, and options for nutritional supplements. She
provides an incredible list of references
at the back of the book. Bullet lived
several years in remission and died of other causes at the age of 14.
In our opinion, her book is a must read and the
associated website provides information that is very
useful: www.helpyourdogfightcancer.com.

A Compassionate and Informative
Book
The grim diagnosis of cancer for a beloved pet is shocking and
devastating. When my Siberian Husky was diagnosed with an aggressive
cancer, I spent the following three days on the Internet researching
the specific type of cancer, treatment options, oncologists, diets,
supplements and anything else that might help fight her prognosis. I
had more questions than answers. I first saw Laurie's book at my
oncologist's office. It confirmed my own research, but also offered a
wealth of additional information. It is a compassionate and supportive
book that offers hope and help. The topics are comprehensive and
insightful and are meant to help you and your beloved companion combat
a frightening disease. Laurie and Bullet's story is truly
inspirational. She has great compassion for our four-legged best
friends and for the people who love them. The book is truly a
gift.

Who says there's no Magic
Bullet?
When my
pooch was first diagnosed with lymphoma, I vainly searched
local bookstores and the internet for a personal story of success at
fighting canine cancer that combined traditional western veterinary
medicine with non-traditional approaches. Most resources were either
strongly in one or the other camp, with little discussion of how to
blend a variety of approaches. Laurie's book was different, and a
savior for us, as it carefully and non-judgementally presented options
for integrating nutritional, herbal, homeopathic, and traditional
approaches (like radiation, chemotherapy and surgery). Along the way
she charms us with her and her Bullet's very personal and brave story.
The combination of science, heart, humor, first-hand experience,
straightforward information and cutting-edge references will be useful
to anyone confronting this disease, and is an absolute must-have for
companions of cancer pups.
