The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood is a true story about the human-animal bond, healing cancer holistically, senior canine care, and an empowering new take on the grieving process when a beloved animal passes away.

Buttons was a happy, kooky cockapoo/terrier. When she was eight, she was diagnosed with a virulent form of cancer and given six weeks to live unless she underwent amputation, chemotherapy, and radiation. Instead, her pet parent, Nadine, launched a holistic regimen which included:

• clearing Buttons's inner and outer environment of all toxins
• cleansing her body of all residual toxins, and
• giving her body the nutritional support it needed to heal itself

Four months later, Buttons was vibrantly alive and cancer free. She thrived for an additional eleven years. The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood will take you on a journey into the unlimited love and joy at the heart of all true relationships. At the same time, it will lead you deeply into yourself. This is the story of how Nadine and Buttons saved each other's lives. It is only one version of a story shared by millions of pet parents.
