User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Not impressed
Rather small and outdated for the price. The majority of the information in the book is nothing that you wouldn’t find yourself just by searching on the Internet- for free. Sort of a disappointment really. I was so looking forward to receiving this book and then changing our dogs’ diets but the diet plan in here is extremely vague. Look elsewhere for info if your dog has Cushings or SARDS.

5 Stars Cushings Disease
I purchased this book because my dog was diagnosed with Cushings Disease. It had some helpful information on the disease. I found some really good information on diet even if your dog is healthy. Diet really does make a huge difference even in healthy dogs. Since following some of the suggestions both of my dogs seem much healthier and shedding has decreased tremendously.

4 Stars Bought the book for my Dad
I bought the book for my dad whose favorite dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes. It didn’t sound like his Vet had given him much information beyond the most basic information (give the dog a shot at this time every day). My dad says the book answers many of his questions and provides him with the information he needs to understand the condition and properly care for his dog.

5 Stars Can’t keep it in my library!
This is the 2nd copy of this book I’ve purchased. I can’t keep it in my library because it is always out on loan to someone. It provides such good information to help people understand these diseases and how to handle them. This copy is going in our “Rescue” library so that it is available to anyone who adopts from us. (Westie Rescue) A must for any dog owner.

5 Stars Good Product
This book has helped me a great deal with the diagnosis of my canine. I would suggest it to anyone facing these diseases.
