Learning your pet has cancer is devastating.
In her new book, Dr. Bannink walks you through the steps to making this journey the best one possible.
Informed by her training as a Spiritual Guide in the Mystery School tradition and her expertise as a board certified veterinary oncologist offering an integrative approach to pet cancer care, she takes you far beyond treatments into the realm of true healing that reaches to the level of the Soul and Spirit.
Your pet is more than a companion. The human animal bond opens your heart. Your pet reminds you of the Love you are worthy of receiving and capable of giving.
You honor their life by learning all your relationship has to offer you. And in doing so, create a journey that will transform you both.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

about the book
So your pet has cancer, now what?
You want to give your pet the best life possible after their diagnosis of cancer, and there is so much you CAN do!
While you may feel overwhelmed, there is a roadmap to making the journey with your pet one of healing and growth, and it includes a magic bullet that can change everything for your pet – you. You are your pet’s best resource.
Rooted in honoring the profound power of the human–animal bond and optimizing quality of life, this book helps you find clarity so you can take positive, grounded, and confident action.
Using the Three Cornerstones of Whole-Being Wellness, Dr. Bannink helps you create a powerful foundation of healing reaching far beyond the physical into the realms of Soul and Spirit. This book is so much more than a guide to cancer patient care: it is an invitation to walk the journey of life with your pet with greater care, compassion, and presence. You come to see that the life you create for them becomes the life that transforms you. This is how they live forever: through you.
You are the living legacy of your pet’s love.

What others are saying:
For more than a decade, I have sat across from pet parents in the moments after a cancer diagnosis. I know the look in their eyes — the shock, the grief, the desperate question of what do I do now?
In those moments, a treatment plan is rarely enough. What pet parents truly need is clarity, options, and a roadmap for the whole journey, one that honors both the science of cancer care and the sacred bond they share with their animal. That is exactly what Erin has created in this book.
What makes this book so powerful is that Erin does not stop at treatment; instead, she begins where conventional resources end. With the steady hand of a clinician and the open heart of a healer, she guides the reader through the Three Cornerstones of Whole-Being Wellness — body, soul, and spirit — offering a framework I have not seen captured this completely anywhere else. She gives readers permission to grieve, tools to steady themselves, and a way to walk this journey with intention rather than fear.
What makes this book so valuable is that Erin understands something most cancer guides miss: the pet parent is not a bystander in this story. They are the most important variable in their pet's experience. Erin shows them how to step into that role with strength and grace, and in doing so, transform one of life's most painful chapters into one of the most meaningful. Few practitioners can move as fluently as Erin does between the science of medicine and the wisdom of the spirit, and it is precisely that rare combination that gives this book its depth.
This book belongs in the hands of every pet parent navigating a cancer diagnosis, every veterinarian who wants to better support their clients, and anyone who has ever loved an animal deeply enough to want to honor that bond fully.
Erin has given us a true gift — a guide that meets people in their grief and walks them all the way home to peace.
