Caring for Kingsley, Believing in a Better Way When Canine Cancer Comes Crashing Into Your World by Alli Eldridge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book talks about love, loss and some topics which may trigger those with similar experiences.

Alli, her husband and their dog Kingsley are the and the perfect trio, they love life, walks, snuggles on the sofa and spending time with family and at only 8 years old, there is a lot of life left in him, that is until one day when it is discovered that Kinglsey has cancer. Alli and her husband are in shock and disbelief as Kingsley’s behaviour and attitude hadn’t changed at all, but it is all confirmed with a biopsy and some hard decisions have to be made when they are told that instead of years together, they may only have months.

As Alli and her husband come to terms with Kingsley’s diagnosis and the options for treatments and the time they have left with him, they feel devastated, despairing and hopeless, so Alli turns to research, she looks into all of the options, places where he can get treatment and things they can do themselves at home.

This book takes you through their experience from start to finish, it is a diary of sorts which takes you through the ups and downs associated with the diagnosis of cancer in a pet and how it affects the life of the pet and the owners alike. It is informative as the type of cancer, treatment options and other things affecting the emotional state of the family are explained in detail.

This book will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, as you follow along on this journey of caring for a beloved pet with cancer.
