 more autobiographical than current news March 30, 2009

Although I appreciate the narrative and history of the author's journey with her beloved dog, I found much of the treatment information dated, which, of course is understood, and although I appreciate her willingness to share treatments and food choices, I have found newer books with updated facts more helpful. I find I don't the emotional energy to spend on a story at this time. I need information to compare to my veterinarian and oncologist's treatment suggestions.
 Must read March 22, 2009

This book is a must read for anyone whose dog has cancer. Laurie Kaplan gives excellent ideas about how to handle this devastating situation. Common sense and helpful hints abound along with researched facts about cancer in dogs. This book showed me ways to fight my dog's cancer aggressively and I will be forever grateful to Ms. Kaplan - finally a book to help us.
Help prevent cancer in dogs! February 19, 2009

I lost my Siberian Husky a little over a year ago to a very aggressive form of cancer.. I found out less than 10 days before she passed away. Needless to say, it started me on a crusade to find out ways to treat cancer and prevent cancer, both in dogs and in humans. I found out that 1 out of every 2 huskies will get cancer in their lifetime.. !!!! I now have another husky, Bandit, who is 2 years old. I give him one GNC Shark Liver Oil pill a day to help prevent cancer.. the same works for people as well. If you do some research, you will find that Shark Liver Oil is used in several high-end dog supplements, and that is why.. My aunt had breast cancer several years ago and was given less than 5 months to live. My dad sent her a full box of shark liver oil.. she took about 4 -5 pills a day for a year.. that's right, not only did she survive, but the doctors couldn't find any more cancer in her body! She is not in remission, she is now cancer-free!
I know it sounds incredible, but God has put many things on this earth to cure illnesses, it is up to us to find them.. Another natural remedy I have found works is Cat's Claw (Una de Gato), Esiak Tea, Graviola (esp. for Prostate, Lung & Colon Cancer), Turmeric (another great preventative, take 2 pills daily), and IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate).. IP6 is very powerful.. It kills (yes, kills) cancer cells when combined with calcium and magnesium. The only brand I trust is Jarrow formulas.. It's about $12. Take 2 pills (or 1 if you are giving to your dog) first thing in the morning, at least 3 hours before you take any other pills. IP6 is extracted from Rice Bran grown in Japan. All of the natural remedies described above can be given to dogs, either as a preventative or treatment for cancer. Simply cut the dose in half (in porportion to their weight) as a preventative, or give the full human dose, if you are using it as treatment. I like VitaCost for ordering these, also local health food stores are good. Now brand, Thompson Nutritionals are my fave brands. For the Esiak Tea, only get "Flor-Essence" by Flora.. it is somewhat pricy, but it has been shown to effectively treat cancer.
Good luck and God Bless!! If anyone wants to e-mail me with questions, I am happy to help: luxuriousfinds@yahoo.com
Highly recommended by cancer dog owner October 20, 2008

My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma 7 weeks ago. The amount of information on treatments, diets, and supplements that exists is overwhelming. The author distills this body of research and information down into an informative and digestible book. I've switched to the homemade diet she recommends in her book and my dog is much more energetic. I highly recommend this book for anyone whose dog has cancer.
A must for anyone whose canine companion is diagnosed with a cancer October 11, 2008

Cancer is not something exclusive to people. It is not uncommon for people to consider the animal companions as 'family'. These two facts are why Laurie Kaplan wrote, "Help Your Dog Fight Cancer: What Every Caretaker Should Know About Canine Cancer", a guide for dog owners who are unfortunate to have their beloved dog develop cancer. Outlining the causes and reasons for Canine cancer as well as outlining preventative techniques that readers can use and outline to protect their pooch, it also addresses care for when the unfortunate does happen. Very highly recommended for personal and community reference collections, "Help Your Dog Fight Cancer" is a must for anyone whose canine companion is diagnosed with a cancer.
