I would go one step further and say that *everyone* who has animals should have this book on their keeper shelf. My copy is highlighted and dog-eared (no pun intended<G>) to death. It's the first book I refer to for everything.

Actually, the one I have is The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat. I didn't read closely enough. Get them both if you have farm animals!

Sharyn, who has more books on her keepers shelves than you all could imagine<G>
