Customer Reviews

Vital for every pet owner/guardian.
This is probably the best homeopathic veterinary book for pet owners/guardians in the market.

In the first part, Dr. Hamilton explains the basics of homeopathy and how the rules apply to home caring for a sick animal. He even gives instructions on how to medicate your animal, since the administration of homeopathic remedies differs from allopathic ones.

The second part is a detailed and easy to follow Repertory, meaning that conditions by system are presented and remedies are suggested according to symptoms. This is followed by special conditions, such as pre surgery and after surgery care, heat-stroke etc. The section ends with a Materia Medica adapted to the animal symptoms.

This book has been a great resource for my cats. It does not replace the veterinary care of a trained homeopath, but it can be vital in cases of emergency. I used it at least on two occasions with my younger cats, and the both recovered in a matter of hours. One of them, my younger kitty had been ill for months, and both my homeopath and my allo vet had not been able to help him. Fed up by the failed attempts, I went through the pages of this book, until I stumbled on a remedy that seemed to fit perfectly. And it worked! My boy has been healthy ever since.

Now I keep it close to my bed for easy access.

My choice for anyone wanting to learn about homeopathy
This book tells you not only how to start using this wonderful therapy for your own animals but also explains in easily understandable ways how homeopathy works, how disease begins and the pattern of the disease process, and the process of healing, so that you can get a good all-round knowledge of the subject and understand more about how to choose and give the remedies. This would be my choice for anyone wanting to make a start in veterinary homeopathy as well as for those who already use it but want to have a more in-depth understanding.
