"Pets at Risk" is an informative book on the breakthrough clinical
discoveries by veterinariam Al Plechner, . For more than 35 years
he has treated tens-of-thousands of cats and dogs in his Los
Angeles veterinary clinic, and has identified a widespread, but
unrecognized deficiency in the endocrine-immune system of cats and
dogs. These deficiencies result in symptoms ranging from allergies
to serious immunological diseases and cancer. Over that time he has
spoken to dozens of veterinarians who report seeing more and more
animals unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Dr. Plechner, DVM, has developed a program for treating pets facing
endocrine-immune deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. This book is
written for the layperson to understand the root of disease and
symptoms animals suffer. The author hopes that the reader will work
with his or her veterinarian in using the treatment program. This
book requires a working partnership between the pet owner and the
veterinarian since a part of the treatment includes pharmaceuticals
or natural supplements as well as a healthy diet and careful
attention to food allergies.
Ann Martin continues her thorough investigation of pet-related
issues, revealing more shocking facts. Carefully and methodically,
Martin explains the ongoing problems with most commercial pet
foods. She also builds a strong case against the popular raw meat
diets, and questions yearly vaccinations, making a convincing link
between increased cancer in pets and overvaccination. Protect Your
Pet includes healthy recipes, alternative choices, and solid
advice.
Susan Chernak McElroy credits her astounding triumph over cancer to the love of the animals in her life. In Animals as Teachers & Healers she shares her remarkable story along with true stories from others who have been touched by the loving energies of animals.

The best-selling animal advocate Temple Grandin offers the most
exciting exploration of how animals feel since The Hidden Life of
Dogs.
In her groundbreaking and best-selling book Animals in Translation,
Temple Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as
her distinguished career as an animal scientist to deliver
extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and feel. Now
she builds on those insights to show us how to give our animals the
best and happiest life--on their terms, not ours.
It's usually easy to pinpoint the cause of physical pain in
animals, but to know what is causing them emotional distress is
much harder. rawing on the latest research and her own work,
Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals. Then she
explains how to fulfill them for dogs and cats, horses, farm
animals, and zoo animals.Whether it's how to make the healthiest
environment for the dog you must leave alone most of the day, how
to keep pigs from being bored, or how to know if the lion pacing in
the zoo is miserable or just exercising, Grandin teaches us to
challenge our assumptions about animal contentment and honor our
bond with our fellow creatures.
Animals Make Us Human is the culmination of almost thirty years of
research, experimentation, and experience.
This is essential reading for anyone who's ever owned, cared for,
or simply cared about an animal.
In 'Goodbye, Friend', Reverend Gary Kowalski takes readers on a
journey of healing, offering warmth, guidance, and sound advice on
how to deal effectively with death of your animal companion's life.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'I'd been in so many scrapes with Theo
and he'd always saved me. Those days were the hardest of my life so
far and ... at the darkest point, those big brown eyes and that
torn ear where I needed them to be. Right there next to me.' PC
Gareth Greaves first met Theo, a German Shepherd, when he was a
nervous 14-month-old puppy. They were instantly inseparable and
police dog Theo became the best partner Gareth's ever had. During
six-and-a-half years of active service, police dog Theo located,
tracked and detained suspects leading to more than 200 arrests. In
that time, he endured broken ribs and being bitten by assailants as
well as being set on fire. From tackling and detaining an arsonist,
to protecting Gareth from a gang of men with machetes in an armed
robbery, Theo's bravery knew no bounds. Time and time again he put
his own life at risk (often coming close to death) to save others.
Even while off duty Theo has been a rock to his partner, providing
emotional support as Gareth learned that some of the hardest
battles aren't always on the front line. My Hero Theo is the
heartwarming story of one man and his heroic dog - and the bond
that sees them go above and beyond the call of duty to keep each
other safe.
In 2011, Manny was the runt of the litter and on his way to a

little Frenchie always encourages a positive, do-gooder outlook to
his followers. Packed with cheeky humor, witty wisdom, and charming

Ranquet offers an essential guide for anyone seeking to enhance
their pet's health, longevity, and quality of life-and deepen their

than our fellow humans. In this engaging do-it-yourself pet therapy
resource, this gifted healer offers a broad spectrum of guidance

relief, anxiety, and overall well-being. Here she presents

From Diana Darke, the acclaimed author of My House in Damascus and
The Merchant of Syria, comes the extraordinary true story of a
heroic ambulance driver who created a cat sanctuary in the midst of
war-torn Aleppo. "I'll stay with them no matter what happens.
Someone who has mercy in his heart for humans has mercy for every
living thing." When war came to Alaa Aljaleel's hometown, he made a
remarkable decision to stay behind, caring for the people and
animals caught in the crossfire. While thousands were forced to
flee, Alaa spent his days carrying out perilous rescue missions in
his makeshift ambulance and building a sanctuary for the city's
abandoned cats. In turn, he created something unique: a place of
tranquility for children living through the bombardment and a
glimmer of hope for those watching in horror around the world. As
word of Alaa's courage and dedication spread, the kindness of
strangers enabled him to feed thousands of local families and save
hundreds of animals. But with the city under siege, time was
running out for the last sanctuary in Aleppo and Alaa was about to
face his biggest challenge yet... This is the first memoir about
the war in Syria from a civilian who remains there to this day,
providing both a shocking insider account as well as an inspiring
tale about how one person's actions can make a difference against
all odds.

Read the heartwarming story of Pea Horsley, the UK's first
professional animal communicator, as she tracks lost animals,
tackles troublesome pets and helps people to truly understand their
devoted friends. Pea Horsley never set out to be an animal psychic,
so you can imagine her surprise when she realised that animals
could talk, and that she could hear them. Heartwarming and funny,
Pea describes how she learnt to harness her powers and, in doing
so, the incredible characters that she meets - on two legs and
four! Pea tells how she saved Musgo the horse who was unable to
recover from a past trauma, helped a client find her reincarnated
puppy, and the wonderful story of Mono the dog and his owner, Mike.
Mono had saved Mike's life, so when the vet told Mike that Mono was
so ill that there was no hope, Mike refused to give up on him. Pea
came to the rescue to help Mono tell Mike what he needed to
survive. Pea's immense compassion and love of animals has allowed
her to help so many animals in need and to celebrate the
unconditional love and devotion that our closest friends bring to
our lives.
"Pets have a special place in our hearts and homes--but do they
share our destiny after death?"
World-famous psychic, spiritual teacher, and "New York Times
"bestselling author Sylvia Browne reveals the very special purpose
our pets have on Earth--and what animals experience after
death.
With their never-ending loyalty, heroic deeds, comic behavior,
and vibrant personalities, cats, dogs, horses, and other creatures
are companions, but they can also be our closest friends and
dearest confidants. The death of a pet is always heart wrenching
and tragic. In her illuminating new book, legendary psychic Sylvia
Browne shares heartwarming stories from pets on both sides of life
as she examines how our unique and special animals live in the
afterlife, whether we will see them on the Other Side, how their
presence affects us daily, and where they fit into the whole of
Creation.
Our society is still learning how to dignify the relationship
between a pet and their human with proper mourning rituals. We have
only recently allowed the conversation of how to grieve for our
non-human family members to come front and centre. In examining the
special bond between pets and their people, Jeffrey Moussaieff
Masson validates the grief that we feel when a special pet dies.
Lost Companions is full of poignant stories about dogs, cats,
horses, birds, wombats and other animals that beautifully
illustrate the strong bond humans form with them. A heartfelt
exploration of human grief after the loss of a pet by the New York
Times bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love, Lost
Companions is a thought-provoking book on pet loss. Masson takes a
personal approach, allowing readers to explore their own responses,
suggesting ways through and out of grief, as well as meaningful
ways to memorialize our best friends.
Over the past 13 years, Marta Williams has worked with clients
(people and the animals in their lives) to resolve behaviour and
training problems, find lost animals, assist animals that are ill
or dying, and helped animals get along with each other. In the
course of her work, she has come to believe that anyone can learn
to communicate with animals and with nature. This inviting book
offers readers techniques and exercises to tune in and learn this
language.
Biblical Evidence That Animals Really Do Go To Heaven. If you have
pets or are grieving the loss of a pet then you must read this
book. We love our pets and they love us. They become part of the
family and it is painful when we have to say goodbye, however, you
will be comforted to know that they are not gone forever as many
people would believe. Inside this book you will get a glimpse of
what heaven will be like and you will see that God loves and cares
for his animals and there is indeed a place for them in heaven. In
this book you will learn that animals are innocent and are not in
need of salvation and that it was never our Heavenly Father' desire
that we or his animals would suffer death. The pets that we had to
say goodbye to are alive in heaven right now in their spiritual
bodies and we will see them again if we accept Jesus as our Savior.
Your Pet Is Not Gone Forever. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.
I've had the pleasure of caring for many pets throughout my life
and I am grief stricken every time one of them passes away. Dealing
with the loss of a pet is difficult, especially when you've been
taught as a child and led to believe throughout the years by
misinformed people such as parents, family, and friends that they
are gone forever and that you'll never see them again. After losing
my Black Lab back in December 2009 and then my Golden Retriever in
2011 I decided to find out for myself what the Bible had to say
about the subject. What I found out was very comforting and I know
you will be comforted too when you read this book.
