The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure,   ISBN:9780964598249

Customer Rating: 

This book is informative and provides a good explanation of the concepts of canine acupressure. However, rudimentary diagrams make it almost impossible to identify specific points on the body. Without this critical guide, the practical application of the information in this book, is limited.
When I purchased this book, it was my hope to add acupressure to the massage therapy I am able to provide for my dog. However, without a natural intuitive sense of these pressure points, I am at a loss to apply pressure without a specific diagram that would show me the exact location of the numerous points on the canine body.
It is a shame as it is basically a very fine book, but given the context, I consider the lack of exact direction in finding the acupressure points a significant flaw.

I use Acupressure points in my Healing! Both Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis (Acupressure for Horses) do an excellent job. The books are fairly easy to follow. I recommend both to my students.

Customer Rating: 

Lack of an index makes this book difficult for the reader. Trying to find specific points is also challenging due to the graphics used. I l was surprised to find so many typos which should have been caught before print.

OUR LAB MIX DOG (MERLIN) SUFFERED A SPINAL EMBOLISM AND WAS PARALIZED IN THE REAR RIGHT LEG, GOT HIM TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY TO GET STEROIDS AND ANTI-INFLAMATORIES ON BOARD, DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST PROGNOSIS. ORDERED THIS BOOK AND BEGAN WITH THE ACCUPRESURE AND MASSAGE 3 X A DAY. HE HAS MADE A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY IN ONLY 8 WEEKS WITH ABOUT 85% USE OF THE LEG. I BELIEVE THAT THIS BOOK REALLY HELPED AND IT IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOUR DOG, DON'T GIVE UP, WE ALMOST DID AND ARE SO GLAD NOW THAT WE DIDN'T.

I love the way this book is layed out. There are other great ones that also include nutrition, but this is the easiest to follow for accupressure. My dog's accupuncture Vet was even impressed. I was disappointed that there wasn't a section on ears, but they were addressed as part of other topics.
