Biographical note:Dr. Jean Hofve earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. Dr. Jean practiced holistic and conventional medicine in Denver, Colorado, and was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association from 2004–2007. She has extensive training in homeopathy and homotoxicology, and in 1995 founded Spirit Essences, then and still the only veterinarian-formulated line of flower essences for animals. Dr. Jean lives in Denver, Colorado. Main description:Celeste Yarnall’s time-tested natural and holistic expertise gives cat owners insight into natural alternatives in food, medication, alternative therapies, and healing practices, improving the lives of feline friends and well as their caregivers. With Dr. Jean Hofve, the esteemed holistic veterinarian, she explores nutrition as preventative medicine, vitamin and mineral supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic treatments, and groundbreaking anti-aging modalities never before published in a pet care guide. The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care also includes a complete bibliography and a list of suppliers of holistic remedies and services. As with all other pet health guides, it is a comprehensive resource intended to complement veterinary care, not replace it. Review quote:If you’ve been waiting for the ideal guide on how to take care of your cat holistically, your patience has just been rewarded. The Complete guide to Holistic Cat Care is written by two long-time experts in the field, veterinarian Dr. Jean Hofve, and Celeste Yarnall, holistic cat breeder and founder of Celestial Pets…Delightfully illustrated with engaging color photos, this book offers everything you need to know to enjoy a healthy, happy holist cat. Makes a great gift. - Animal Wellness Review quote:In addition to being chock full of well-researched and well-presented information on holistic cat care, the book is beautifully laid out and illustrated with stunning cat photographs. This guide is a valuable resource for every cat owner interested in holistic health and a beautiful addition to your cat care library. - Examiner Review quote:The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care is as beautiful as it is informative: photographs of sleek, healthy cats and adorable, fuzzy kittens accompany the most up-to-date information on holistic cat care. Even those who have been privileged to live with a cat for many years are sure to learn something new from why it is suggested that a new cat brought into the household be isolated (it has to do with the ‘anti-social’ nature of the feline immune system) and how mother cats ‘name’ their kittens, to why it’s so important to ‘cat-proof’ your house (a cat’s tongue has backward-facing barbs that make it unable to expel and object it has begun to ingest). You’ll learn why a raw food diet is best suited to a cat’s needs, the psychology and sociology of the litter box in multiple cat homes, the use of herbs in healing, the benefits of homeopathy in getting to and healing the root cause of cat’s illness. - Spirituality & Health Magazine, April 2010 |
