The
toughest dog health care questions:
Are
you staying up all night with your sick dog?
You just came back from the vet with a pile
of prescriptions and instructions, "Give Fido lots of rest." But you
are totally stressed out by Fido's illness. You're getting up at 2 AM
to help Fido do his business. You worry about him 24/7. You feel
numb and scared
and mostly alone...and exhausted. What you really need is a
conversation with someone
who understands what you are going through. 
Are
you
starting to feel
overwhelmed?
Most dog owners say feeling
isolated is the hardest part of caring
for a beloved family member. Nobody understands. And you
have
so many
questions. Too many for a busy vet and the Internet seems
overwhelming.
Somehow, you have to make a
lot of decisions.
- How can you care for your
dog
and still hold a
job
- Where can you learn the
basics: from temperatures to
therapeutic touch
- How much is too much: when do you
stop
- How do you respond to friends and
family who don't understand (and maybe think your crazy)
- where to get more information
about dog health care alternatives
(like acupuncture and reiki)
Very few people feel
totally
confident about answering these dog health questions. Nearly
everyone feels frazzled.
- I’ve seen many
loving
dog-owners upset with themselves for years
because they didn't feel they made the right choices.
- And let's
face it: You
don't know what's available. You
don't know what's expected or how others have coped.
Nerves and emotions can be
rubbed raw in such a trying time, so a
little direction -- the kind you'll get when you download this ebook --
will go a long way to help you feel less alone and less helpless.
It's hard enough to care for a sick dog without having to hold down a
job, keep up with family -- and deal with insensitive observations from
casual acquaintances and neighbors.
With our help you’ll gain tips to start
sleeping again. You'll get resources, sources and advice from
people who have experienced what you're going through.
So, are you still hoping
to rely exclusively on your busy
vet? Will
you call all your friends to learn what they did (which may not be
right for you)? Are you hoping to look through ten thousand
websites
on the Internet, seeking the answers to your unique questions?
Wow,
what an important book!
Cathy addresses a full range of issues that came up for me with my older dog. It's
so important to be prepared for the change in our pets as they grow older,
but it's so easy to miss the warning signals. I wasn't prepared when my dog
Lucy went deaf seemingly overnight--how
could I miss the signs? How do I protect her now? What should I expect next?
Maybe the best thing
about this book is it makes the reader feel they're not alone. Animals can't talk, and are
usually too proud to complain. So the burden is on pet owners to anticipate
their needs and pain, and it's a lonely, scary job.
Filled with
compassion, understanding, and great resources, Dog-Health is a needed guide through the myriad emotions
pet owners feel, from guilt, grief,
helplessness,
financial concerns, anger, and loneliness.

A
remarkable handbook of very useful information presented in a
clear,
practical, concise, and compassionate way. Your writing and
organization of material are very clear, concise, well paced,
interesting—I sat and read the entire book at one sitting on the
computer – something I rarely do.
Although
I’ve taken care of several pets with degenerative, terminal conditions,
and assisted several friends in caring for their ill pets, I found your
information to be very enlightening.
I
especially appreciated your discussion about the dog’s emotional as
well as physical needs, the practical concerns about money and time and
the discussion of complementary and alternative health care options.
And I especially appreciated your tips to create a caregiver’s support
system.
What
a great service to millions of pet owners!

You don't need to
run around seeking help
when you're already exhausted.
You are entering one of the
most challenging times of your life. You
want to make loving -- and realistic -- choices. You
want to

weren't being heroic enough.
Our ebook, Arf! Dog Health
Comes Home, can guide you through this challenging time.
You will discover
- How to take advantage of being
home to help
your dog recover faster

self-esteem (so he'll be motivated to
get healthy again)

less alone (and most people don't know about them)
- How to choose a veterinarian who
can save you huge amounts of pain and hassle
- The most important questions to

3 AM on a Sunday morning)

"what I should have done" as
you make responsible decisions
- How to find
products to make your job easier (yes
-- you can get a doggie stroller!)

duty nurse (without giving up your life

good-by with love (and find resources to help you deal with the
inevitable grief)

your dog by choosing whether (or not)
to find a new companion

your
dog is taken care of the way she
deserves.
We
searched far and wide for these tips. We anticipated your questions
about dog health in general and at home in particular.
If you researched all these
topics, it would take you at least 40
to
60 hours (I
know, because I did it). When you're trying to find time to
give your
dog all the love he needs, and deal with your own stress, you
can't
take time to investigate what's out there. Organizing this
information and making it easy to read
took another 30 hours (I did that too).
You don’t need to spend
days
surfing the Internet. You get to spend
more time with your dog, rubbing his head and telling
him
he's the greatest dog in the world and the best thing that ever
happened to your family.
We have tried to
take all the time and energy out of
your search for information so you
can
spend more time just enjoying your dog's company.
A little insight can go a long
way.
DOG-HEALTH AT HOME includes
insights
from a dog trainer and a
veterinarian, answering the most frequently asked dog health
questions.
And DOG-HEALTH AT HOME helps you feel less isolated as you discover

companions.
You'll get
 checklists so
you won't be caught by surprise
on a long
holiday weekend or forget to ask a major question at the vet's office.

My
Most
Special Gift For You
I wrote DOG HOME
HEALTH
after
caring for Keesha, the chow mix I rescued
from the Broward County Humane Society. She was full-grown (almost
senior) when I found her sitting up in a cage, looking sad but
optimistic. She became my very first dog. Everyone we met could see at
once:
she was very, very special.
When Keesha was diagnosed with kidney disease (along with cataracts,
deafness and severe arthritis), I felt totally isolated. So many dog
health questions. How
could I care for her? How could we make the most of the final
days she so richly deserved?
When she crossed the
bridge
just before Thanksgiving, 2005, I wrote her
a special tribute. Many readers tell me it helped them cope with
their
own losses. They say they couldn't help crying when they read
her
story, but they were able to create their own story for their own
loss.
I have been where you
are now and I wrote this ebook to ease your
pain
just a little and to give you the tools to get through a dog-owner's
most difficult challenge. |
