All Hands on Pet! is a must-read for pet owners everywhere!

All Hands on Pet! by Susan E. Davis, PT is an amazing resource for those interested in pet health and for those of us who care about providing the best possible care for our beloved pets. The book is aimed at pet parents/guardians as a guide to helping them take care of their pets through all stages of their lives. From kittenhood and puppyhood, right through to old age.

With her years of experience and obvious love of animals, Susan guides you to implement preventative measures with your pet at home in a clear, informative manner with easy-to-follow instructions coupled with clear illustrations. The reader will not find the language and techniques described overwhelming.

As pet parents, we all want the best for our fur-children and so it is important to arm ourselves with as much knowledge on how to care for them as possible. Of course, nothing can replace professional veterinary care and this is disclosed at the very beginning of the book. Any alternative therapy administered at home should be given simultaneously with your vet.

As an animal Reiki healer myself and with a diploma in Cat Behaviour and Care I really enjoyed learning the techniques in this book. As a cat mum and animal lover, I am interested in all aspects of animal care. I also found the resources at the end of the book really useful.

In conclusion, this is a must-read for any animal lover and pet parent and it is a book that will definitely join my other animal care books on the shelf where I can pick it up for easy reference.

Before I go, I have to add that I love that the cover of this book is green. Not only does it match our blog colour/theme and Athena's beautiful eyes, but green is also the colour of healing (we all know how calming it can be to be surrounded by the lush greenery of nature). It is also the colour I visualize when using Reiki on animals.
