"For pets young or old, healthy or recovering, authors DeSimone and Doktor offer a thorough, science-based review of the benefits of pet rehabilitation. Covering everything from massage and acupuncture, to light, water, and sound therapy, pet parents should add this important book to their library. Even better, share it with your veterinarian and discuss these important integrative options for health, happiness, and healing for your animal companions." - Amy Shojai, CABC, award-winning author of 35+ pet books including New Choices in Natural Healing for Dogs & Cats, and winner of the 2023 AVMA Veterinary Media Award

“Healing Paws should be an essential text for all pet owners, especially those with a pet who has a physical issue or disability. The authors offer guidance on veterinary and physiotherapeutic assists for your beloved companion when they face physical and cognitive challenges. Includes sections on how you can help your dog or cat using massage, exercise and even sound therapy! Highly recommended.” - Sally Cragin, Director, Be PAWSitive Therapy Pets and Community Education, Columnist for Lowell Sun and many other papers with “Pet Talk” and “Pet of the Week”

 

“Well written and highly informative, this is a must-read for anyone who cares for animals! It raises awareness of the numerous options available to help our four legged family members recover from surgery, rehabilitate after injuries, and cope with chronic pain” - Lynne O’Neil DVM owner Compassionate Care Veterinary Services

“Short of having conversations with our pets, this book might be the best route to the best possible care for our furry family members in need. Healing Paws by Renee DeSimone and Marina Doktor is an essential read, and a resource I wish was available when our dog had a spinal stroke. Instead of spending countless hours scouring the internet and bouncing from specialist to specialist, I could have had the many treatment options available to us at my fingertips. Healing Paws not only explains the bevy of preventative and therapeutic regimens available to our pets but also when to consider them. The book is loaded with detail, from proper drying technique after a swim to the best genre for musical therapy (which I mistakenly thought was yacht rock). If you’re a pet owner, this is a must-read to keep handy for whenever something seems a little off with your furry family member.” - Travis Yates, author, Nobody Told Me My Legs Don’t Work: Journey of a Down Dog
