"Veterinary medicine has come a long way, according to this standout history... Schott's animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes." 

• Starred Review, Publisher's Weekly

"Heal the Beasts is written with a generous dose of witty humour, which renders Schott’s writing both personable and enjoyable."

• The Seaboard Review of Books

"Because he writes clearly about a technical and jargon-filled discipline, one doesn’t need to know the slightest thing about medicine to read the book."

• Literary Review of Canada
