Review

There’s no doubt about it, we love our pets. But they like all of us, tend to break down with age. When this occurs, sometimes you need to get the help of a rehab specialist. And yes, there are people that specialize in rehabilative medicine for pets, mostly dogs and horses it seems, but I’m sure all pets are covered. And when you need to find and hire one of these specialists, what do you look for? How do you determine you are getting someone qualified? And what if you want to be one of these specialists, what all is involved in the job.

Luckily, the answer to many of those questions is covered in this book. Everything from what to expect during the first visit, choosing a therapist, to treatment, exercises, orthopedic solutions, neurological issues, and other medical conditions. For such a small book, it’s packed with information and a section of resources.

So for those who love their animals, or those who love others animals and wish to take care of them, pick up a copy of this book. I think you’d find it very helpful. And for those who might be concerned that animals wouldn’t like this, the author tells a story about a dog that was treated. After the author had treated and released the dog, she’d often see it. She watched it secretly, and it would run and play with no problems, but then when it would see her, it would begin limping.

So go out and check out a copy of this book, and drop back by and let us know your thoughts.
