    PRAISE FROM VETERINARIANS, AUTHORS & BOOK REVIEWERS

    "The future is upon us and this ground-breaking book is a vital cornerstone. In dealing with cancer, our worst illness, this Survival Guide is educational, logical, expansive, embracing, honest and so needed."
    -Dr. Marty Goldstein, DVM
    Holistic veterinarian and Host, Ask Martha Stewart’s Vet on Sirius Radio

    "The message of this book jumps off the written page and into the heart of every reader, and will become the at home bible for cancer care of dogs. The authors have given you a sensible and systematic approach that practicing veterinarians will cherish. I found the book inspiring and, clearly, it will become part of my daily approach to cancer therapy for my own patients."
    -Dr. Robert B. Cohen, VMD
    Bay Street Animal Hospital, New York

    "I wish that I had had The Dog Cancer Survival Guide when my dearly beloved Flat-coated Retriever, Odin, contracted cancer. It would have provided me alternative courses of action, as well as some well needed "reality checks" which were not available from conversations with my veterinarian. It should be on every dog owner’s book shelf--just in case..."
    -Dr. Stanley Coren, PhD, FRSC
    author of many books, including Born to Bark

    "A comprehensive guide that distills both alternative and allopathic cancer treatments in dogs...With the overwhelming amount of conflicting information about cancer prevention and treatment, this book provides a pet owner with an easy to follow approach to one of the most serious diseases in animals."
    -Dr. Barbara Royal, DVM
    The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center, Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago veterinarian

    "Picking up The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is anything but a downer: it's an 'empowerer.' It will make you feel like the best medical advocate for your dog. It covers canine cancer topics to an unprecedented depth and breadth from emotional coping strategies to prevention-in plain English.Read this book, and you will understand cancer stages, treatment options, and types, and much more. If you have just had the dreaded news, pick up a copy and it will guide the decisions your dog trusts you to make."
    -Laure-Anne Viselé
    Dog behavior specialist and technical dog writer, CanisBonus.com

    With this book, canine cancer—the number one killer of dogs—loses some of its sting. The message that the dreaded diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence will reassure many readers...Clever use of sidebars(part of the book's "Dummies"-style packaging).. Verdict: Faced with a bewildering set of circumstances, owners of dogs with cancer will welcome this guide, which will help them calm down, think clearly, consider the options, and, ultimately, make more confident decisions
