Praise from Readers
 Someone on a Yahoo! dog cancer list suggested this book for me shortly after Max's diagnosis, and I am so glad I followed up and obtained it. The book helped to put things in perspective, gave a truly excellent account of how cancer "works", and gave tons of info on treatment options and lifestyle changes to help the dogs. I find I am also more aware of my own health as a result of reading this book. It should be read by everyone who has a dog with cancer. Thank you, Dr. Dressler, for taking the time to research and prepare this valuable tool. Judith A from Wllingboro, NJ with Max, 10 yo English Shepherd with hemangiosarcoma I lost my beloved dog last October but recently ordered the book. Yes I intend to recommend it to all of my dog groups. I think I have cried with every page I have read. How I wish I had found this book before my beloved Grace was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma. I would have done so many things differently. But now I want to help other people find this book when their beloved dogs get diagnosed with any kind of cancer. I feel like I am sitting in front of Dr. Dressler and picking his brain hour after hour. Please tell him how grateful I am to him for wrighting this wonderful book for us devastated dog owners facing these horrible cancer and trying to prevent them in our other dogs. Ann Marie from Halifax, MA with Grace, 10 yo English Setter with Hemangiosarcoma After getting Jett's CT scan results that showed a nasal tumor and a mass on her right atrium, I was pretty emotional and wrestled thinking how I was going to help Jett. Three days later, while searching the internet for cancer information, I found The Dog Cancer Survival Guide. I watched the video and then I ordered the book. The DCSG helped me sort out a lot of information. It helped me organize my thinking. It helped clear up a lot of confusion. As I write this, Jett is with me and doing a heroic job contending with her disease. I won't kid anyone about this, as anyone experiencing hemorrhaging tumors can tell you, the constant care required tests every ounce of your being. Having The DCSG as a resource helped me understand my options and most importantly taught me I was the decision maker for Jett's care. The DCSG is an important book and for the sake of my pet, I'm glad I found it. Michael P from NJ with Jett, 11 yo Great Dane with a Nasal tumor After getting Jett's CT scan results that showed a nasal tumor and a mass on her right atrium, I was pretty emotional and wrestled thinking how I was going to help Jett. Three days later, while searching the internet for cancer information, I found The Dog Cancer Survival Guide. I watched the video and then I ordered the book. The DCSG helped me sort out a lot of information. It helped me organize my thinking. It helped clear up a lot of confusion. As I write this, Jett is with me and doing a heroic job contending with her disease. I won't kid anyone about this, as anyone experiencing hemorrhaging tumors can tell you, the constant care required tests every ounce of your being. Having The DCSG as a resource helped me understand my options and most importantly taught me I was the decision maker for Jett's care. The DCSG is an important book and for the sake of my pet, I'm glad I found it. Michael P from NJ with Jett, 11 yo Great Dane with a Nasal tumor There is a wealth of information in Dr. Dressler's book, that our own vets don't have the time or perhaps the inclination, to share about our dog's battle with cancer. Everything he discusses is invaluable to the owner who is faced with this disease. He also tackles the emotional and mental aspects of dealing with cancer, and he does it with compassion and tact. This book is excellent in every aspect and I am so grateful to have found it. Margie W. from Chattanooga, TN with Leah, 8 yo lab with mast cel We are huge believers in giving our dogs a healthy diet, adding supplements and digestive enzymes, and keeping them trim and exercised... this program is exactly what we were looking for to take on this illness. Our dogs tend to outlive their expected life cycle. Barbara R from NC with Hogan, 13 yo yellow lab/golden mix with cancer of the anal sac The information in this book is priceless, I highly recommend this if your dog has cancer. Ken from Nevada with Ark, a 17 yo wolf malamute with anal gland cancer I found the E-Book very informative. I thought I knew enough with the research I had already done but, this was extremely thorough. If only I had found this two months ago. Knowledge is power. You can not expect your Vet to have the time to explain everything that they know and bias is something you don't want when you are fighting for your pooch. You need as many opinions and all the latest information available to help you make the best choices on behalf of your dog. Deborah S. from Canada with Tia Maria, 8 yo German Shepherd mix with Adeno Nasal Carcinoma When we are faced with cancer in our beloved pets many times it has gone beyond the stages where we can take care of it. But sometimes there is hope. When Bullet was diganosed with this type of cancer that not many vets / oncologists had seen before and those that had were familiar with so few cases - we had to do everything to help him through it. There is no stone that I left unturned to get information on this type of cancer - and dog cancer in general. Running a kennel of retired racing Greyhounds - and adopting them to people who may have to face this in later years - I feel obligated to learn all I can about the dreaded disease. Having lost two Greyhounds at age 10 to osteosarcoma and one at age 6 to multiple myoloma, I know the heartbreak. There is so much on the internet - and we don't know what is true and what is not. I was going through information overload by the time I found this resource where things were "all together" and it was written by someone that I could trust to "tell it like it is". I wound definately recommend The Dog Cancer Survival Guide to other dogs lovers going through the ordeal with their animals. Barbara M from Florida with Bullet, 9 yo Greyhound with Exrtreskeletel soft tissue osteosarcoma There is tons of information online about Dog Cancer and it is overwhelming during an already overwhelming time. The Dog Cancer Survival Guide provided one place to get all my information and allowed me to take a proactive approach not just with the Oncologist but at home with diet and supplements. It is empowering. Stephanie from South Carolina with JJ, a 9 yo Basset Hound with Lymphoma I would recommend this book so that other dog lovers know that there are other options besides radiation,chemotherapy, and amputation. I have used alternative approaches on my dogs for years now: supplements, holistic remedies, accupuncture, homeopathy, Chinese herbs, etc. It is very difficult to implement when there are no local vets into the "Full Spectrum" approach. I hope this book will entice other veternarians to explore new and safer alternatives. Edith T. from North Carolina with Mystry, 13.5 yo mixed breed with Osteosarcoma You get the information you need to help make good decisions regarding your animals care. The book also gives you emotional support by helping you understand the "why" & "how" and "what should I do next?". I found the book so helpful - I ordered a second copy for a friend (her dog has osteosarcoma). Sheril A. from Austin, TX with Zia, 7 yo Lab with thyroid cancer The Dog Cancer Survivial Guide is not only informative and educational about the disease, it also gives options for dealing with cancer. It helped me thru the emotional crisis and now I am focused on doing what is best for LP. The vets I've dealt with are well respected and well qualified in their fields but they didn't have the overall knowledge of dealing with diet, massage, supplements or life style changes that the Dog Cancer Survival Book explains in detail. Susie H from Milwood, VA with LP, a 7 yo JRT with Lymphoma I work at a small local veterinary clinic and was devastated after losing my second Golden to cancer. I bought the Dog Cancer Survival Guide and was blown away at the information that was in there. This book has become my canine bible. I highly recommend this book and I have already done so for another Golden lover on my Golden @ hobbs list. She downloaded it immediately! Thank you Dr Dressler! Kathy T from PA with Breeze, a 10 yo Golden Retriever with Lymphsarcoma & a nasal tumor I immediately began to frantically search for information about Mast Cell cancer, when I got Ziggy's diagnosis. Ziggy was a recent rescue from a horrible situation,and it seemed so wrong for such a sweet and loving dog to deal with cancer - especially now that he had a chance for a wonderful life with us. Thankfully I ran across Dr. Dressler's "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide." I am a believer in the holistic approach to health, and the information in the guide was invaluable to me. While we are still early in the diagnosis and treatment of Ziggy's cancer, I honestly believe that his chances are considerably improved by the opportunity this guide has given me to take a practical, yet forward thinking and assertive approach to his cancer care. Thus far, the information about diet and supplements has proved invaluable. This information is not readily found elsewhere, and I find myself reviewing and re-reading this section on a regular basis. Doris Z from NJ with Ziggy Stardust, a 3 yo American Eskimo/corgi mix with Mast Cell This is a very informative book written with Unconditional Love filled with alot of POWERFUL information for those that care deeply for their family member. Dr. Dressler is a very special person, you can really tell by the words he chose to write in his book, he helps you personally thru the ordeal of cancer treatment. I would recommend this book to everyone! IT's A GEM! you know a KEEPER! I can't thank you enough for the LOVE that you have for people and pets, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, When you loose your focus and become depressed remember to pull out your book and do an exercise and get back on track, you are your dogs ADVOCATE and responsible for them. Keep focused and keep a positive attitude it really does make a difference. I would do anything for my dog, I love him unconditionally he's given me so much LOVE. Invest in giving your dog a quality life, you'll be gald you did. Divine Unconditional Love to All. Maria N from Colorado with Hydro, a 5yo Chow mix with Lymphosarcoma After reviewing the x-rays the vet had said "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do but make her comfortable" -- This really didn't give me a gameplan of what to do and how to cope with my dog's cancer. The book was great for providing alternatives and put me into action to get nutrients to a dog that was failing fast. She is still with us and in better shape then when we saw the vet. The book was a blessing to help work through the many challenges of the cancer diagnosis. Lance L from Toronto, Canada with Jersey, 15 ys JRT with lung cancer I haven't even finished reading the Guide and I am already so grateful for having received it. I feel as if I have a second vet by my side as I commence this journey with Sparkle. I know that I will be so much more knowledgeable as I have to make treatment decisions along the way. Thank you so much. Susan M with Sparkle, 9yo Australian Sheepdog mix with MAST cell I want to thank you for your book that you wrote to share with others when Norma J. I must thank Dr. Dressler and all of you for all the encouraging words, Tina H. It really helps to know I am not going through this alone. I found the first few chapters very helpful, Deborah L. The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is the most in-depth, and helpful, resource I've found yet to not only learn more about cancer in dogs, but also how to treat it. We're encountering such varied opinions from vets we speak with. The Dog Cancer Survival Guide provides a full picture of the options for our dog and has given us hope beyond the traditional standard of care for our dog. The most important information I got from the book was the Supplements to KILL cancer cells! We wish we lived in Maui right now and that Dr. Dressler were our vet! Tammy McCarley, Sienna, 8 year old Golden Retriever/Chow mix with Hemangiopericytoma, Sacramento, CA I purchased this book not long after my 14 yr old dog had been diagnosed with cancer and shortly afterly Dr Dressler released his book in the winter of 2009. My little dog was failing fast and I wasn't getting any information about how best to assist her outside pain medication. I did my research and found Dr Dressler's site on line. His philosohpy as well as information about canine cancer inpressed me so I ordered his book. I followed the information he outlined to the letter and as a result was able to give my dog an extra 10 months of quality life. Within a week after starting Dr Dressler's program for dog's with cancer I was able to put aside the doggy stroller and walk my dog again. The folks in our neighbourhood who were used to seeing us go with the dog were amazed with the difference in her. The stroller did not come out again until the last week of her life. I credit this wonderful man's reseach and sharing that reseach with us to the extra 10 months I had with my dog. Dr Dressler also walks the reader sensitively through the process of knowing when it is time to let go and how to do that in a healthy manner. I have recommend his book over and over again.It is easy to read and understand and I know it works from personal experience if it is followed. M. Shlopsky, Ontario, Canada I have been truly blessed finding this site and getting Dr. D’s book. Of all the research I’ve done and I’ve done a lot, the book and information here is the best! Melanie I needed to know more about how I could help my dog get through this trying time and I have found this help in your wonderful book...thank you for writing it and informing all of us so we have the knowledge to help our wonderful pets. Sandy Smith - Cinderella, 10 year old German Shepard/Rhodigian Ridgeback with Lymphoma, Orange, CA I needed to know more about how I could help my dog get through this trying time and I have found this help in your wonderful book...thank you for writing it and informing all of us so we have the knowledge to help our wonderful pets. Sandy Smith - Cinderella, 10 year old German Shepard/Rhodigian Ridgeback with Lymphoma, Orange, CA As is likely the case with "you" coming across this guide, I was "numb", confused and upset about my girl's condition. Although I had researched a great deal on the web, I found that there was too much information and no real way to know who to believe. A lot of the information out there seems like "voodoo" and many things I read were contractiary to each other. How could I avoid something and give her something at the same time? To compund my frustration, traditional medicine for the most part seemed anti-holistic, and the natural cures seemed to be anti-modern medicine. Dr. Dressler, a trained veterinarian is unique in his approach. He doesn't count anything out unless there is reason to believe it is ineffective or puts your pet at too much of a risk. This guide clarifies a lot of the questions and uncertainties while giving you a game plan and knowledge to make key decisions and a way to reason through the tough times. An excellent read and helps bring a light to a dark situation! Julian Trevino - Daffney, 10 year old Lab with Mast Cell, Roseville, MI The book is excellent, and although I hope to never need read through it ever again, it brought me comfort when we first learned the diagnosis…helped me divise a game plan…helped me feel that I wasn’t alone in this battle. Julian I read your book and absolutely loved it. Charles Hi Dr. Dressler - I received your “Dog Cancer Survival Guide” and have jumped right to the diet...thanks for your wonderful book... Myrl Graham I would also like to tell Dr. Dressler that I’m still reading the book, but it has helped me so much so far and I’m truly grateful to have such a comprehensive guide to help me. Donna I would also like to tell Dr. Dressler that I’m still reading the book, but it has helped me so much so far and I’m truly grateful to have such a comprehensive guide to help me. Donna Dr. Dressler, I recently read your entire book, which has been so helpful that I cannot begin to thank you. Russell Thank you Dr. D, I am very very greatful that I found YOU and bought your book! Christina We heartily recommend "The Dog Survival Guide" because it gives you HOPE...we learned so much from this book. Margery S. - Dexter, 8 year old Lab/Great Dane mix with Hemangiosarcoma, Seattle, WA Dr. Dresslers book helped get me through my dog's cancer. Jo Anne I found this book to not only be an excellent source of information but a real encouragement & comfort to us over our beloved Penny. She is on the cancer diet & taking lots of supplements. Considering her age & the operation she had she is in wonderful condition. Twelve going on two ! The tumour was completely removed & all her blood tests came back negative. She saw the vet again yesterday & it was commented what wonderful condition she is in. Thank you. Susan - Penny, 12 year old Golden Retriever with Mast Cell Grade 2, England UK Dear Dr. D – Thank you for your book. It has been an incredible compass for moving through the various aspects of this difficult process with my treasure, Smoky Mountain. Margaret Got the book and thought it is very well done. Todd G. I read and read again this book. It gives me soemhope that the regualer vet did not. Allthough I relize that Max our 7 yr old may still surcome to his cancer. There are certain things we can do to make his life more comfortable and enjoyable. We have changed his diet thanks to the book and this seems to help him daily. We have done some other treatments top help him breath (chropratic care and acupuncture care). All seem to help. Homeopath care. has been a life sent. I thank Dr Dressler for writting such a positive book about a realy problem in our pets. It's a hard ting to learn about cancer in pets, its just like hearing your child has uncurable dease. Now there is a book that can walk you throught alternitves in treatments, diets, support and most important love for your dog. Carl Kern - Max, 7 year old Australian Shepard with Melanoma, Porter, Texas I purchased your book and I thank you for it. Sandra Smith I know I would have lost my dog much sooner had it not been for me discovering Dr. Dressler and purchasing his book. The information I learned from it and his regular blogs have been invaluable. I used the book in her treatment and in my preparing myself for letting her go. I can only say thank you to him for sharing his knowledge in his book. Millie Extremely useful reference including full discussion of traditional and alternative therapies. This book helped me get up to speed fast as to what treatment options I should be considering and asking vet and oncologist about. Well worth the price. Sheryl - Colby, 11 year old Golden Retriever with Squamous cell carcinoma, Andover, MA I am very grateful for the knowledge you share, and the emotional support I gleaned from your book...I passed the book on to my Vet, for them to read and pass on to anyone going through that terrible experience. And God forbid I ever have to go through that again, I would pay just about any price for another copy of your book !!! I’M FOREVER GRATEFUL !!! Lisa & Bear I am very grateful for the knowledge you share, and the emotional support I gleaned from your book...I passed the book on to my Vet, for them to read and pass on to anyone going through that terrible experience. And God forbid I ever have to go through that again, I would pay just about any price for another copy of your book !!! I’M FOREVER GRATEFUL !!! Lisa & Bear I bought your book and read it all very quickly. Thank you for writing it and doing all the research! Christina I downloaded "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide" and the more I read, the better I felt. I am more prepared to help my beloved dog and don't feel frightened or alone...Thank you so much, Dr. Dressler!!!!! I would recommend this book to all dog owners and veterinarian's. Joyce Santana - Shain, 9 year old Rottie Mix with Osteosarcoma, Township of Washington, NJ I downloaded "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide" and the more I read, the better I felt. I am more prepared to help my beloved dog and don't feel frightened or alone...Thank you so much, Dr. Dressler!!!!! I would recommend this book to all dog owners and veterinarian's. Joyce Santana - Shain, 9 year old Rottie Mix with Osteosarcoma, Township of Washington, NJ I downloaded "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide" and the more I read, the better I felt. I am more prepared to help my beloved dog and don't feel frightened or alone...Thank you so much, Dr. Dressler!!!!! I would recommend this book to all dog owners and veterinarian's. Joyce Santana - Shain, 9 year old Rottie Mix with Osteosarcoma, Township of Washington, NJ I loved the book. It helped me greatly. I took what I learned from the book to my vet. I now have a plan of action that I feel very good about. Thank you. Lora - Penny, 10.5 year old Bull Terrier with Mast Cell, Batavia, Ohio Reading "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide" provided insight into the cancer and alternative healing options to help. Jeanmarie Gelinas - Nasha, 10.5 year old German Shepard with Hemangioscarcoma, Annandale, New Jersey Your book “The Dog Cancer Survival Guide” has been a tremendous help and comfort. Stephen Your book is a superb compilation of both human and animal psychology, and a very detailed approach to the care and comfort of the family pet through the worst encounters for both concerned.” Walter F. At this very stressful time it's very easy I felt out of control of things, that there was nothing I could do to help my beloved pet Bella. The book gave me hope that there were things to try so I know I did everything I could and the help with my thoughts was invaluable & calming, I no longer feel like an express train is running off with me. Veronica Evans - Bella, 9.5 year old German shepherd/Collie mix with mass in chest, Guisborough, N. Yorkshire, UK Dr. Dressler's sensitivity and understanding of the emotional side of going through a cancer diagnosis and treatment with a beloved dog was amazing. I loved the fact that he recognizes the importance of a good mindset and that in order to take care of our dogs, we must first take care of ourselves. The exercises he presented for coping with the emotions and developing a good mindset were wonderful and very helpful. In addition to that, I really appreciated getting an honest take on both conventional and "alternative" therapies from a doctor who uses and accepts both. That made me feel like I was getting straight facts and not spin. Also, Dr. Dressler's description and presentation of research on alternative therapies that have been proved to work really helped me decide which treatments might be best for my dog...Thank you for a terrific book that was worth every penny and more. I will consult it often as I work with my dog in this fight against cancer. Allie Johnson - Maddie, 10.5 year old mixed breed with mast cell tumors, Kansas City, MO Great information ... best source of real-time, broad base, knowledge of canine cancer that I have found. I am currently trying to get detailed, very specific cancer information to supplement the Survival Guide. I believe that with the Survival Guide as an overview and then with additional specific type-of-cancer and individual dog treatment(s) this could be the most outstanding approach and solution to fighting and winning the war on canine cancer. Many cudos to Dr. Dressler for his work to this point-in-time and his continued efforts to achieve this common goal for all of us who love and are working digilently for their pets survival. Lon Patterson - Max, 8 year old Viszla with Mouth/Jaw Cancer, New Braunfels, TX Just a few short weeks ago, Max, our German Shepherd, was diagnosed with lymphoma. My wife and I were devasted that our seven year old would be afflicted with this horrible disease. Not wanting to just give up on him, we started doing research via the internet and found several sites offering hope. We watched Dr. Dressler's video and made the decision to order his book. While we know that cancer is a very tough disease, the book has given us great hope that by using the information, we can make more informed decisions with our veterinarian and perhaps lengthen Max's life as well as his quality of life. Very well written and easy to understand. David Bartling - Max, 7 year old German Shepherd with Lymphoma, Fort Collins, Colorado Thank you so much for all the information in this book, you have given me hope. I have started Leah on lots of the supplements you recommended and hope to give her as long a remission as possible. Joanne Foley I have almost finished reading your cancer book. All I can say is bravo…thank you for your research and information. Tracy Thank you for writing and publishing this book. We've been through this before but this time I thought it would be nice to have a "guideline" to remind me of what I needed to do and to give me that assurance that I was doing the right things and first and foremost, making sure that my girl is as happy, confident, and comfortable as possible. She wants to fight and has proven she wants to fight 4 times already, we're here to support her fight! Chris S. - Daisy, 12.5 year old Golden Retriever with hemangiosarcoma, Washington DC There is so much information available out there about cancer and related treatments, but this Guide manages to compile most of it into one resource that is easy to understand, concise, and updated. When you are hit with the news that your dog has cancer it is overwhelming! So I appreciate that the Guide walked me through so much detail in a short amount of time while allowing me to keep my sanity. I searched the internet for reliable, trustworthy information about dog cancer and treatments, from traditional to alternative. This was one of the only places where I could find decent, specific information. One of the most helpful sections is the beginning of the book, which assisted me in calming down and accepting my role as my pet's caregiver. Meghan M - Jack, 10 year old Greyhound with Osteosarcoma, Northern Virginia Dr. Dressler thank you for your book and your fight for our canine friends! Clou I purchased a copy of your book which is wonderful. I have been researching supplements for canine cancer for a long time and your book is a great guide. Chad S. I recommend the Guide to families that are looking for options, other than Chemotherapy. It has helped me understand how I can attempt to help my beloved pet, even when things looked so grim. Alicia Murdock - Ranger, 7 y.o. Golden Retriever with Lymphoma, Pembroke Pines, FL Your book helped me deal with my wgs dog Snowwhite, I was able to extend her life by several weeks...I feel that book of yours was the best doggie investment I ever bought. I still read it from time to time to help my new dog and take good care of her now. Frank Thank you so much for the book. Katie C. Petra's cancer grew so incredibly fast, that I only had 4 days to get as far through the book as I could (while still having to work 10-12 hr days). In that time, I was able to make some healthy changes to her diet. But what I am most thankful for in this book, is that the 1st few chapters dealt with my emotions and how to help my beloved pet by controlling my emotions. I will be forever thankful that I took the time to thank my Petra for all she gave me! Although my time with her was cut way too short, I was able to to thank her and say goodbye in a way that gave me some peace. I miss her horribly, as her pain got too severe too quick and her entire body became hypersensitive to pain, but I do highly recommend this book to all dog owners. Linda Hubatsek - Petra, 8 year old Pit Bull Mix with Nerve Sheath tumor, Maricopa, AZ I have read the book thoroughly and must congratulate you on producing such an in depth publication, for some it will be a savior. No dog owner should be without this book, as it offers so much before Cancer is traced in their pet as well as expert advice in every facet of the condition. I am sure your comprehensive book will help so many people in a similar situation to me and my dog. Thank you for writing this book. Sarah S. Thank you, Dr. Dressler, for your riveted focus on treating cancer in dogs. Your book was so valuable and helped with a number of issues, esp. nutrition and supplements. May your work continue. . . forever! Judy Your site - and the book - has been an absolutely invaluable source of information. Thank you again. Elena Our beloved Jacques started his journey to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. He had bone cancer of the nasal passages...it started eating the bone holding his teeth on the right side of his mouth and instead of going around to the left side, it went the other way and caused blindness in one eye and was starting on the other eye. It was getting to the point that breathing was difficult for him due to the thickness of the discharge from his nasal passages. This all happened so fast. I feel we were able to handle the situation due to reading The Dog Cancer Survival Guide and it is helping us to accept Jacques' passing now. Barbara Duckworth - Jacques, 9 y.o. YorkiePoo with bone cancer, Perry, FL The book covers so many different things that you can try to provide health and comfort that your dog deserves (and you too). The suggestions are doable and are things you can easily get access to in order to provide assistance. This book goes into the detail that your vet just doesn't have time to share with you. It is a great resource. Todd McCuen - Zoey, 11 year old miniature schnauzer with a pulmonary tumor, Charlotte, NC I call for all God's Miracle Blessings to all of you to flood you and your loved ones – forever for your wonderful care of my buddy Tigger! Fat and sassy she is exploring her new home... We have had our former “love fests” and she slept at the foot of my bed in her round fluffy bed! You see all is well thanks to the efforts of all of you! God Bless you forever... Jackie C. Dias I needed to know more about how I could help my dog get through this trying time and I have found this help in your wonderful book...thank you for writing it and informing all of us so we have the knowledge to help our wonderful pets. Sandy Smith - Cinderella, 10 year old German Shepard/Rhodigian Ridgeback with Lymphoma, Orange, CA "My name is Sonya West. My husband, Jerry and I live in Fort Worth , Texas and have an 8 year old 35lb Catahoula mix. She has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma . Her tumor is in her hip joint. We have her on previcox and she takes fish oil, vitamin c, vitamin e and tramadol. We’ve been feeding her barely cooked hamburger meat, eggs, and Beef broth mixed with her regular dry food. She has been favoring her leg quite a bit but, still gets around good. I work for an orthodontist and one of our patients mother is a DMV. Dr. Rhonda Daniels. She told me to call you because of your all natural medicine. She has referred some of her patients to you and now their dogs are in remission." Sonya West, Fort Worth, TX I downloaded "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide" and the more I read, the better I felt. I am more prepared to help my beloved dog and don't feel frightened or alone...Thank you so much, Dr. Dressler!!!!! I would recommend this book to all dog owners and veterinarian's. Joyce Santana - Shain, 9 year old Rottie Mix with Osteosarcoma, Township of Washington, NJ The Dog Cancer Survival Guide helped me to quickly get organized in order to address in a thoughful fashion the devastiing news of cancer in our beautiful dog. There were few warning signs - she is a big, strong, happy dog - so this hit us like a sudden storm in the night. I now feel that we have a process to sort out our options, discuss them with our vet / oncologist in a productive way and also a way to assess non-traditional treatments. This book has provided me with a measure of peace. We are still in the process of addressing treatments, understanding side effects and adjusting to the reality of cancer, but I do not feel that we are going it alone or blindly. Thank you. Valerie Sachs - Maya, 9.5 year old German Shepherd with Renal carcinoma, Pepper Pike, Ohio Dr. Dresslers book helped get me through my dog's cancer. Jo Anne Your book “The Dog Cancer Survival Guide” has been a tremendous help and comfort. Stephen Thank you, Dr. Dressler, for your riveted focus on treating cancer in dogs.

Praise from Veterinarians, Authors & Book Reviewers
 With this book, canine cancer—the number one killer of dogs—loses some of its sting. The message that the dreaded diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence will reassure many readers. Dressler, a general practice veterinarian, and Ettinger, a veterinary oncologist, advocate the “full spectrum” approach to treatment, in which conventional tools (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) and alternative remedies (supplements, botanical nutraceuticals, mind-body medicine) are considered. Their counsel, in short: “Try everything.” The book’s divided structure is somewhat unusual (but nonetheless effective), as Dressler uses the first two-thirds to give a comprehensive overview, while in the last third, Ettinger details 12 common cancers and their conventional treatments. Clever use of sidebars (part of the book’s “Dummies”-style packaging) allows the authors to comment on each other’s ideas, so the reader gets a practical demonstration of the value of second opinions. Anecdotes from appreciative readers of the first (ebook) edition have been sprinkled throughout the text, providing further advice and support. Library Journal  "The future is upon us and this ground-breaking book is a vital cornerstone. In dealing with cancer, our worst illness, this Survival Guide is educational, logical, expansive, embracing, honest - and so needed." Dr. Marty Goldstein, DVM, Holistic veterinarian and Host, Ask Martha Stewart's Vet on Sirius Radio  “A comprehensive guide that distills both alternative and allopathic cancer treatments in dogs … With the overwhelming amount of conflicting information about cancer prevention and treatment, this book provides a pet owner with an easy to follow approach to one of the most serious diseases in animals.” Dr. Barbara Royal, DVM, The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center, Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago veterinarian  "The message of this book jumps off the written page and into the heart of every reader, and will become the at home bible for cancer care of dogs. The authors have given you a sensible and systematic approach that practicing veterinarians will cherish. I found the book inspiring and, clearly, it will become part of my daily approach to cancer therapy for my own patients." Dr. Robert B. Cohen, VMD, Bay Street Animal Hospital, New York  "I wish that I had had The Dog Cancer Survival Guide when my dearly beloved Flat-coated Retriever, Odin, contracted cancer. It would have provided me alternative courses of action, as well as some well needed 'reality checks' which were not available from conversations with my veterinarian. It should be on every dog owner's book shelf - just in case..." Dr. Stanley Coren, PhD, FRSC, author of many books, including Born to Bark  "Dr. Dressler and Dr. Ettinger have succeeded at the incredible task of writing a book that really helps pet parents who are struggling with the many decisions faced when their beloved animal has been diagnosed with cancer. Presenting and explaining both complementary and conventional medical options for the treatment of cancer in 'one book' is a giant step in the direction of 'one medicine' offering integrative medical choices to pet parents for the betterment of their animal's health." Dr. Bob Goldstein, VMD, Veterinary Director for Healing Center for Animals, Westport, CT  "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is a great resource for pet parents whose dogs have been diagnosed with cancer. This easy-to-read book provides important information about canine cancers and discusses both conventional and holistic treatment options. Besides being informative, the book helps guide people as they navigate through a difficult and emotional path." Dr. Ruth MacPete, DVM, practicing veterinarian, writer and media personality  "The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is like a crash course in canine cancer for the layperson. It takes a bit of the mystery out of the dreaded disease by teaching some of the what, why, and how regarding cancer and cancer treatment. After reading it, you will be better equipped to help your best friend live life to the fullest, regardless of the prognosis." Therese Kopiwoda, Pet Blogger and Founder of PetsitUSA.com  "As a holistic dog care author, I knew exactly which experts to consult when my sweet Maltese Jiggy developed a large liver tumor. But even with advice from a top cancer specialist and help from a half dozen veterinary friends, I still had numerous questions. Exactly how should I adjust Jiggy's diet? What supplements should I add? What else could I do to help him? I found the answers I sought and more in Dr. Dressler's book. I was particularly impressed by the thoroughness of the information. The book is easy to read, but wonderfully complete. If your dog has cancer, I urge you to get two things: a second opinion ... and this book." Jan Rasmusen, National award-winning author, Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care  Picking up The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is anything but a downer: it's an 'empowerer.' It will make you feel like the best medical advocate for your dog. It covers canine cancer topics to an unprecedented depth and breadth - from emotional coping strategies to prevention - in plain English. Read this book, and you will understand cancer stages, treatment options, and types, and much more. If you have just had the dreaded news, pick up a copy and it will guide the decisions your dog trusts you to make." Laure-Anne Visele, Dog Behavior Specialist and technical dog writer |
