Dr. Petty's Pain Relief for Dogs: The Complete Medical and Integrative Guide to Treating Pain

A comprehensive guide to diagnosing and relieving your dog's pain

You love your dog, and hate to see him in pain. But you don’t want to head to the vet’s office for hundreds of dollars worth of tests that might prove useless. Dr. Mike Petty understands this. He’s a “pain vet” – working with cutting-edge research to find the best way to relieve your pet's pain. In this book, he guides readers in three critical points:

1. How to determine whether a dog is in pain

2. How to find a veterinarian capable of treating these pain issues.

3. What treatments are available, and which are worth pursuing and which are not.

Dr. Petty offers clear descriptions of the treatments, both traditional and holistic. This guide offers the wisdom and support that dog owners crave in these situations.
