Stress. It's the single, universal cause of both wellness and illness. While this theory is widely supported in the human medical community, it's still controversial among veterinarians. Dr. Paul McCutcheon examines the all-important health-stress connection while drawing upon the latest scientific thinking and combining it with a comprehensive, preventive, and holistic philosophy of pet care. So if you're among the millions of caring, responsible pet owners who visits the vet more often than your own doctor but still wonders what more you can do for your dog or cat, The New Holistic Way for Dogs & Cats is the next best thing to a consultation with Dr. McCutcheon. If only he saw human patients in his practice, too!

The New Holistic Way for Dogs & Cats offers a practical approach using mainstream and non-mainstream methods, along with valuable advice about how we can make our pets' everyday lives less stressful.""    —TEMPLE GRANDIN, author of Animals Make Us Human and Animals in Translation
