Yup, got that one, too. I like that book a lot, and refer to it often. Dr. Goldstein talks about the general nature of disease and health, discusses the importance of diet and talks about supplements, has a lot of information about vaccines, gives overviews of homeopathic remedies, herbals, flower essences, chiropractic, and other modalities like ozone therapy. He does take some amount of flak for his positon on the "healing crisis," and his BNA bloodwork.

The second half of the book consists of his "alphabet of ailments," with common problems listed and various remedies/modalities, a chapter on cancer, a chapter on "the spirtual realm" - qi, chi, vital force, a chapter on the death of a pet, and a comprehensive (although possibly outdated, in my edition) resource guide. He is not a classical homeopath - he frequently uses BHI's combination remedies (Cough, Allergy, etc.).

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in following, or just exploring, a holistic path for pet care.

Dr. Goldstein's site is http://www.smithridge.com/, although there's nothing really there other than the splash page.
