From Needles to Natural: Learning Holistic Pet Healing

Mainly her pets and growing up years. Some remedies.

This book is probably great if your dog already has a health concern. If you're looking for recipes to feed your healthy dogs a balanced diet, this is not the book for you. You should get the Yin & Yang book by this same author instead. That one is also mostly about feeding a sick dog, but has healthy dog recipes at the very end. One of my dogs gnawed on this book so I can't return it, but it is not something I need right now.Additionally, this book is pretty old and the author has since changed her mind about some of the suggestions about dog food. For example, she pretty much says no kibble is safe now, but the book (from about 2014) suggests that some brands are great.

The information in this book is PRICELESS, So much so I bought both kindle and hard copy. even if one choose to use store bought dog food(whcih I do not) it gives you the heads up on which ingredients to look for in dog food as primary ingredients. Example:Let’s say your dog has Diarrhea: there are two types: Cold and warm. Did you know that? I did not. At least one can look at the solutions for either: if one insists on buying kibble at least one would know what to look for and if one home cooks or feeds raw:one would have the solution

I follow Dr. Judy Morgan and used her other book that was my bible for cooking recipes for my baby Asher that had Kidney Disease. Even though he is no longer with us he survived over 3 years with this disease. Needles to Natural has great info to help treat your dog the holistic way so your dog can live a longer and healthier life.

Great Kindle version and a really engaging read. Tons of information but still an enjoyable book to read rather than a dry info dump. Love Dr. Judy’s work and highly recommend this book.

I truly wish there were more veterinarians of this mind set in the world I think we would have less pet loss, less pet illness and a much safer modality of treatment. Dr. Morgan is truly one in a million. I enjoyed reading of her journey to this modality. Have shared this book with my friends. A very good read.

I could not put this book down. I have started using Judy's Holistic opinions and ideas with my Cavaliers, Lizi and Maxi. Lizi has aggressive heart and liver disease, was very lethargic, stomach issues, cried out with pain every now and then. After incorporating the ideas in this book, Lizi has energy, her eating habits have returned, stools are solid/look normal and we have not heard pain cries. Her snoring has lessened and coughing is minimal. I understand this may not be the miracle but her quality of life has improved drastically and I do have hope. She is 9 3/4 and as long as she is still loving life and is our happy girl we will keep enjoying her antics. They both make us laugh every day. I have put Maxi on the same diet as a preventative measure. Thank you Judy for sharing this book with us who love our babies. Every dog and cat owner should educate themselves with your book.

I'm giving this book 3 stars due to the authors strict adherence to 'germ theory'. She claims to be heavily influenced by traditional Chinese Medicine but neglects the fact that TCM is devoid of contagion. In fact, Ayurvedic medicine and TCM are both schools of medicine that do not believe in contagion.The author has obviously opened her mind up enough to let go of modern veterinary medicine, but she cannot call herself holistic until she is willing to let go of germ theory.

Starts off with the fascinating story into how the author became a vet, and then how she gradually discovered complementary and natural therapies. Followed by a discussion and treatment for various conditions, suggested diets, covering many different therapies and treatments, and including case studies.Thank you for providing us with excellent information and help.
