Book Reviews of The New Natural Cat: A Complete Guide for Finicky Owners
Book Review: Some good advice, some bad
Summary: 3 Stars
There is some very good regular health and care advice here; for example, her pill-giving technique is all but foolproof.
But I must take issue with some of her dietary and home-healthcare advice. She has among the treats/"bribe foods" a homemade "delicious garlic condiment" consisting of mashed garlic, tamari (wheat-free soy sauce), and water. Like onion, garlic is toxic to cats in any but the most minute quantities -- her 1/8 teaspoon (half of which is garlic) is way too much to be safe, especially on a regular basis, as it destroys red blood cells and can cause anemia. Likewise, she recommends garlic pills for some health conditions, inadvisable for the same reasons.
Aside from that, she puts rather more stock in homeopathy than I do -- yes, a drug should be diluted to some degree (and usually is even in commercial treatments) to make it easier to absorb, but there's such a thing as dilution past the point of effectiveness.
