The Dog Cancer Survival Guide: Full Spectrum Treatments to Optimize Your Dog's Life Quality and Longevity Review: Made Decision Easier - My overwhelming grief when I got the news was clouding my decision making ability when I needed it the most: Chemo or no chemo? It didn't take much reading at all to learn that CHOP Protacol is a good thing; the right choice, most of the time. Chemo isn't always cruel and ugly. My dog had 1-2 months; now she may have a year. And she is happy, not sad, that my decision, much more informed thanks to this wonderful book, gives her more time. More time to be with me, and I with her. My grief is never too far from the surface, yet deeply embedded within my heart. This book, which I refer to when I am sad, not when I want to be sad, lifts my spirits like no one can. The best medicine for Indio, besides the chemo, is my strength. The strength to smile when we look into each others eyes, when it's easier for me to cry. My mask musn't be transparent; she lives to make me happy, and I can't let her down. It takes a very good book to pull this off. To fool her; to trick her. To not let her know that anything is making me sad, in pain. For what could be worse than our best friend having cancer must be our best friend with cancer being sad because we are sad. What a shameful way to spend our only counted days together; the last days we will ever share together. This book just does it all. The professional knowledge about cancer and chemo; and the vast array of insights, and some words of encouragement we need for the emotional roller-coaster that we must endure until, and long after, that day is here. That day that has been on our mind no matter what: rain or shine, happy or sad, sick or well. The day that has cast an ugly gloom on the sunniest summers day. Like a filth that you can't shower away, or a pungent odor that is stuck in your nose, that you must breath in always, no matter what. The day you always wondered how you would handle, and what life would be like afterwards. The grief will be suffocating, nauseating, overwhelming. But that day must come, for it is written in stone. And we must handle it. For our life will go on, when theirs is done. But then we can cry, and we won't need to hide it, anymore. We can cry as the dagger pierces our heart, and the pain, that we have known for so long, can freely, finally, flow away. And the scar that is left, the memory that is fresh, will ever so slowly become but a tender thought; a passing whisper of something too familiar, a part of our past that we must allow to be, because we can't say goodbye, that one more time. This is what I'm going through, and I'm having a real tough time. These thoughts and feelings, will be a part of, controlling, me for a year or so. And I wouldn't be handling it without this book. It takes the bite, the razor sharp edge, the pain and fear, from my foremost mental function, and puts it on a pillow in my back bedroom. I can avoid it for awhile, but from time to time, I must use that room. And rest my head right on that pillow: confront it, talk to it. The thing I don't like. The thing that wants to control my life. But I can come and go to and from that room when I must, when I can. When I have the time. Review: A Must Have Guide for All Dog Guardians - When our darling 5-year old dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and given 2 months to live, I frantically started searching for information and help on line, in addition to getting an appointment with a veterinarian oncologist, of course. When I found The Dog Cancer Survival Guide, I purchased it immediately, hoping that I find helpful information and guidance in these hard times for our family and our beloved girl. I then purchased another copy for our daughter who is 3,000 miles away, to help with our decision-making process. All my hopes materialized and then some. We were all confused, overwhelmed with grief,stopped sleeping at night...all the symptoms dog guardians exhibit as Dr. Dressler described in the book, we have experienced. First and foremost, the book helped us tremendously to get a hold of our emotions and focus on helping the dog! It assisted us with putting structure and guidance into our new paradigm of making significant decisions quickly while realizing that our decisions will affect her life and longevity. We also downloaded the Dog Cancer Diet and started cooking food for her and our other dog. We have proceeded with amputating her hind leg with the tumor and she is doing very well as a tripawd. She is starting chemotherapy as well. While we all make choices that fit our personal situation and there is no one-fit-all prescription, the Dog Cancer Survival Guide helped us make our decisions for our dog and assisted tremendously with improving her quality of life. We also purchased the supplements recommended in the book and saw improvements in her mood, mobility, and playfulness within a short period of time. Only time will tell how long our girl will live but thanks to Dr. Dressler's book, she is alive and well at the moment. Also, thanks to the book, we have a piece of mind knowing that we are doing the best we can for her. This book not only taught us to deal with our dog's cancer situation, it is a book for all dog guardians to keep on their shelves to help make simple changes and take precautions to prevent cancer in their other dogs, now and in the future. The book is well organized, easy to navigate, and responsibly written to remind us that it's not a substitute for a vet advice, even though it is written by a vet. Highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,962 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Small Animal Veterinary Medicine (Books) #110 in Dog Care | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,017) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 1.12 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0975263153 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0975263150 | | Item Weight | 2.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 496 pages | | Publication date | July 20, 2011 | | Publisher | Maui Media, LLC | ## Images ![The Dog Cancer Survival Guide: Full Spectrum Treatments to Optimize Your Dog's Life Quality and Longevity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TejyTDb1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made Decision Easier *by T***N on June 2, 2012* My overwhelming grief when I got the news was clouding my decision making ability when I needed it the most: Chemo or no chemo?

Conventional treatment was $7000+ for her. Unfortunately that was not an option for us. The one thing the oncology dr would say to me was that i could try the diet in this book and that some folks have had some luck with it. My pup had lumps develop in August 2020. Had them looked at and was told they were lipomas. Even though the one was crunchy and hard. Lumps continued to grow. Fast forward to May 2021. My girl was diagnosed with grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma. In june 2021 she had one of the lumps removed. Beginning of july 2021 we started the diet recommended by Dr. Dressler in this book. I put all 3 of my dogs on the diet (slightly modified for the 2 without the cancer). It provided some direction when i have not been able to get any direction from any of my local vets. Our local oncologist said they dont do diet and supplement recommendations. My vet said they didn't know anything other than the standard treatment and couldn't help me. The book is thick, thorough and well written. It provides lots of avenues for thought and also for possible things you could do. I dont know what the future holds for my girl, but the tumor she had removed so far is staying away. And the other 2 have shrunk a little bit. It provides a little glimmer of hope. Thank you for writing this book and also thank you for the support group on facebook and also the weekly emails. All of it has provided some support that i have not been able to find elsewhere. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1700139-the-dog-cancer-survival-guide-full-spectrum-treatments-to-optimize](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1700139-the-dog-cancer-survival-guide-full-spectrum-treatments-to-optimize) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
