New Books From Dr. Shawn-The Natural Vet Healthy Pet Series!

Since I began writing books on natural pet care many years ago, I set as a goal the desire to write a series of smaller books on a variety of topics related to natural care. Over the years I have talked to various publishers about doing such a series, but unfortunately none were interested. While the idea of smaller inexpensive books makes sense so that we can reach a larger audience, because publishers cannot make much profit off of these books they have all declined my offer to partner in such a venture.

Now, thanks to the ability to self-publish e-books, I have been able to start achieving this longtime goal. Over the next few weeks, I will be releasing the first five titles in my new series called Dr. Shawn-The Natural Vet Healthy Pet Series. These books will first be available through Amazon Kindle. Those of you who do not have a Kindle reading device can add the app for the Kindle on your other devices, especially your iPad. I also hope to eventually publish these books through Barnes & Noble’s Nook reader as well. Thanks to the ability to self-publish these books, I have total control over the content and the pricing. Since my desire is to help as many pets as possible, I’m keeping the cost of the books in the series as low as possible. Most of them will cost between $0.99 to $2.99.

The first title in the series, recently published on Kindle, is 100 Tips to Keep Your Pet Healthy, priced at only $0.99.

This first book in the series provides 100 things that are important to keep your pet healthy. These are some of the most important lessons I have learned as a veterinarian and which I share with my patients during their visits to my practice. Much of the advice differs from what your conventional doctor might share with you, but that’s not surprising since my advice stems from a more holistic perspective.

The second title in the series, recently published on Kindle, is Say NO to Drugs: Natural Joint Supplements for Dogs & Cats, also priced at only $0.99.

This book, done in a Q&A format, will help pet owners decide which joint supplements might help their pets and which ones could replace prescription medications.

The third title in the series, also in a Q&A format and also recently published on Kindle, is Say NO to Drugs: Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics and Antifungals, also priced at only $0.99.

Each day I see many pets which have been treated with drugs such as antibiotics or antifungal/antiyeast medications. While these drugs can sometimes be helpful for pets which really need them, in most cases minor infections of the skin, ears, bladder, and intestinal tract can be treated naturally without using these expensive and harsh medications. Using fewer of these medications reduces antimicrobial resistance, which means that when these drugs are really needed to help your pet, there is a greater chance they will actually work!
Read the book and start saying YES to health and NO to unnecessary use of medications.
