- The Holistic Dog: Inside the Canine Mind, Body, Spirit, Space
- fullDescription
- People love their pets—especially their dogs. They treat them as children, as part of the family. They want to do everything they can for them, including making them feel loved, welcomed, and appreciated around the house. By delving into dogs' worlds holistically through their mind, body, spirit, and space, The Holistic Dog delivers a thorough understanding of our canine friends. The mind portion covers their habits and personalities. The body addresses their breeds and physical characteristics. Spirit represents the dogs' dispositions and the many ways they enhance the home atmosphere. Space captures the dogs' connections to the beauty of the unique environments they call home.
Lifestyle expert Laura Benko interviews various holistic care practitioners such as holistic veterinarians, a canine masseuse, a canine behaviorist, an animal communicator, and more. Photographs and step-by-step instructions enable readers to gain helpful tips and insights into holistic pet care and teach readers how to implement them on their own dogs. From pug to greyhound, purebred to winning mix, these dogs jump off the pages of The Holistic Dog and into our laps, warming our hearts with their charming stories by Benko and photographs by Susan Fisher Plotner, inviting us into their spaces, and introducing us to the trajectory of holistic pet care. - reviews

August 1, 2017
Interest in holistic pet care is on the rise, and as such, more books and research on the subject are becoming available. Some of these titles focus on certain topics, while others are broader in range. This work falls into the latter category. Holistic Home Company founder Benko (The Holistic Home: Feng Shui for Mind, Body, Spirit, Space) discusses how dogs have become holistically integrated into our lives by sharing their stories and images of their spaces. This book is roughly divided into two sections. Part 1, "Space," is comprised of photographs of 108 dogs featured later in the volume. Part 2 delves into the animal's mind, body, and spirit. Benko keeps the spotlight on the dogs by only using their names, not the names of their owners. While the first section uses photographs to convey how dogs interact in their own habitats, the second relies on tips and suggestions from professional Reiki experts, canine nutritionists, and a psychic. General tips are interspersed throughout. Both sections are useful, but the transition between the two is a bit rocky. VERDICT A solid purchase for pet owners new to the subject and those who would like to learn more about holistic care.--Leigh Mihlrad, FDIC Lib., Washington, DC
