While this book is based in the UK and I am based in the US, this book has a lot of valuable information on homeopathic remedies and holistic ways of veterinary care. I found it very useful and will keep it on hand in case I need to reference it.

Authors based in Great Britian, certain practices don't really translate for southern Callifornia but good overall info.
