Welcome to the web site for Kindred Spirits-the new book from Dr. Allen Schoen, published by Broadway Books.

Animals enrich our lives. Anyone who has ever cared for an animal knows that the more we give to them, the more they give us in return.

When Allen Schoen began practicing veterinary medicine twenty-three years ago, his peers scoffed at his assertion that animals have feelings and emotions. Today, he is one of America's most celebrated veterinarians, traveling worldwide to treat the domestic animals of scores of clients and working daily to improve the ways in which we understand and interact with our animal friends. Kindred Spirits shares the transformative power of Schoen's remarkable methods and his vision of a society in which we cease to be owner and pet, human and animal, but are simply respected companions connected by an inimitable bond-kindred spirits.

Here you can read the heartwarming stories of Dr. Schoen's patients-like King, the German Shepherd, who fights to stay alive so that he can assist and comfort his ailing human companion.

Here you can see how to give your animal the best possible care, with Dr. Schoen's revolutionary methods and advice on nutrition and exercise.

And here, you can learn how to deepen the spiritual bond between you and your animal friend.

If you love animals, you'll love Kindred Spirits.
