Have a Healthier Dog

How To Have a Healthier Dog

Review of the book by Wendell O. Belfield D.V.M. and Martin Zucker

This is not a new book but I would imagine, a little known book. Dr. Belfield has an inquiring mind and has been willing to try unconventional approaches to some difficult conditions. He has had a lot of success in using Orthomolecular Medicine with some very troubling problems. If you are not a person who uses supplements for yourself, you will find much of what he has to say to be new information. If you are a person who does take supplements, what he has to say will make perfect sense.

The book is divided into four parts: Why your dog needs extra vitamins and minerals; Vitamins and minerals and what they do; The prevention plan; Shutting the door on disease, preventing and minimizing common dog disorders with vitamins and minerals. I am using one of his approaches for Spinal Myelopathy with my oldest dog. This is a condition I am very familiar with and one for which current veterinary medicine has no cure. I will be very satisfied if the condition goes no further. If it improves over time, I will be thrilled. I also have my young dogs on his prevention program. These approaches are easy and inexpensive. The important thing to keep in mind is that most natural healing approaches take time so you have to be willing to be patient.

The book is available from Orthomolecular Specialties, www.belfield.com or (408)227-9334.

Dr. Belfield does NOT do phone consultation.
