ResourcesThe Whole Dog Journal - Every dog guardian should have a subscription to this publication. It, in itself, is a wealth of information, not only of canine health, but of behavior and training, various pet products, ratings of food, etc. It does not accept any commercial advertising, so it is pretty unbiased. It can be a great starting place for researching the latest trends and developments in canine cancer and treatments, including information on various types of alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, herbal, homeopathic, chiropractic, etc. They have a web site, too: www.whole-dog-journal.comDogwatch: The Newsletter for Dog People - This is also a good source of information published by the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Because this is a publication of a veterinary school, it generally does not give information on alternative treatments, but it does offer good, straightforward information about canine health problems and the latest treatments in allopathic veterinary medicine. It also has a couple of good columns dealing with behavioral problems written by Dr. Suzanne Hetts and Dr. Katherine A. Houpt. Your Dog: The Newsletter for Caring Dog Owners - This is another newsletter published by a veterinary school; this one published by the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. This one, however, occasionally touches on the subject of alternative treatments. Tufts has been known as being one of the only veterinary schools willing to “stretch the envelope” and was the first veterinary school to offer courses in acupuncture. The
American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
- This group can be contacted by mail or through their website to
find a practioner in your area, or one that practices in a specific
modality. www.vetinfo.com – This is a website that offers helpful information on a variety of health issues for cats and dogs. Just type in a subject in the google search box and it will bring up a variety of links, both within their webpage and outside of it. Some of the links are commercial, so be careful about who you are buying any kind of herbal supplements from. Remember, there is no regulation on this kind of treatment, so they can make all kind of great claims about their products. Talk to your own vet, holistic or allopathic (or better yet, integrative) before buying anything. The Veterinary Cancer Society – This is a website – www.vetcancersociety.org – that offers information to pet owners about the signs to look for when an animal has cancer, and also offers a search engine to find a specialist in your area. There is also a page with various links for info on cancer in animals. College
of Veterinary Medicine - Cancer Care Focuses on Quality of Life
for Pets--and Owners - It can be devastating to find
out any family member, including a pet, has cancer. Fortunately,
with advances in veterinary medicine, veterinary cancer patients
can benefit from the same treatments used for humans, including
surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
