medical and alternative treatments. Covers related healthcare concerns, such as thyroid
and liver disease. It also teaches owners ways to help their dogs before and after

and chemicals, and the very clear links to metabolism and brain activity. Includes

activity, the pros and cons of commercial diets and homemade diets, how to help dogs
before, during, and after seizures, and emotional support for owners, among many other

Without
Regret: A Handbook for Owners of Canine Amputees
This book was written by Susan Neal and was published in July 2002 by Doral
Publishing. Susan Neal has been involved in nearly all aspects of animal care for more
than twenty-five years, including breeding, training, showing, grooming, teaching, rescue,
veterinary care, volunteering, and business management. She currently owns the VIP Pet
Care Center in Francestown, N.H. The owner of a canine amputee, she seeks to tell the
story of her experience--and the experiences of others--with these special animals. The
author writes -- "So, what can you do with a three-legged dog? We must remember that
dogs are not humans. Though they may exist on the same planet that we do, dogs live in a
vastly different world. They are not affected by the emotional baggage that we carry. A
dog's quality of life, his ability to function as Nature intended, and his desire to
perform the work and activities that he loves and for which he may be born and bred, will
be almost completely unaffected by his amputation."
This book is a useful and informative guide for anyone who owns, interacts, lives with,
loves, or is curious about canine amputees. It is also a moving tribute to these canine
survivors and those who love them. This unique and practical book contains many
photographs that demonstrate the strength and heart of both canine amputees and their
owners.
