MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

Are we over vaccinating our pets?, March 27, 2006
Reviewer: Tami Hawes
Catherine goes into details with research from vets on the effects of vaccinations on our pets. Do they need annual vaccinations or are they causing our pets to become ill? Are vaccinations a moneymaker? Yes, pets should be examined yearly to insure good health, but vaccinations should not be the reason for this yearly health check. Catherine also encourages the reader to do more research on their own.

Catherine talks about food and stress and their effect on your animal's health. Catherine used to feed exclusively a raw diet, but has since modified that stance to allow that it can be too much 'energy' for some animals and that a cooked or prepared diet may be more appropriate. Rare for those who have made the conversion to admit that it may not be the 'best' for all dogs.

Shock to the System will make you think - not a bad thing!

I'm looking forward to her visit in May 2006 on CSDogBookReview and learning more from her.
