Pet care books, on sale
I received an email from BookCloseOuts.com about some new stock they’d received, and one of the books on the list was ”The Veterinarians Guide to Natural Remedies for Cats” by Martin Zucker. I was excited because I’ve had that title on my Amazon.com wishlist, and BookCloseOuts had it for just $4.99. Unfortunately, by the time I clicked the link in my email, the book was already sold-out, so I guess lots of other people had the same idea. While browsing the BCO store, I found a bunch of other “healthy pet” books, including a couple of cheap pet cookbooks, so I thought I’d post some links to them here in case any of you want to order. Most of the books are about cats, but I tried to dig up a few books about dogs as well. I can’t promise the books will still be in stock by the time you read this, but BCO usually lists a “quantity available” number with each title so you’ll know if you need to jump on a book quickly, or if you can wait and think about it. Here they are in no particular order:
- The Last Chance Dog (this is a great book about holistic veterinary medicine; I reviewed it many months ago)
- Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched (this sounds great; a book about training to work at a zoo)
- Cats Into Everything (by Bob Walker, the author of “The Cats’ House")
- Cats On the Counter (cat behaviour anecdotes)
- The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care (I’ll be buying a copy of this)
- The Cat Who Cried for Help (one of the first books for the layperson about cat behaviour modification via pharmaceuticals)
- Cat Confidential (more cat behaviour analysis)
- Pet Projects for Your Cat (may have some recipes in it)
- Think Like a Cat (I think this is one of the best all-round books about cat care, and I often give it to people who adopt kittens from me)
- Your Older Cat (guess what this one is about?)
- The New Natural Cat (this is the holistic cat owner’s bible; it’s slightly outdated, yet still well-worth owning)
- Three Dog Bakery Cookbook (a cookbook)
- Natural Dog Care (guide to alternative therapies for physical and emotional canine issues)
- Cat Treats(not a cookbook)
- Cat Treats(a cookbook)
If you’re a cat owner and don’t own The New Natural Cat, you should snap it up for $7.99. I’m currently using a hairball remedy oil supplement for my cats Jackson and Chelsea, and the recipe is from this book. It also has some raw food recipes, although you should do a quick web search about them before using them, as I think some of them contain ingredients like garlic, which is now considered to be a no-no.
