The Forever Dog Dr Karen Becker Rodney Habib Holistic Dog Health Book Soft Cover

Two of the world's most popular and trusted pet care advocates reveal new science to teach us how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for our canine companions. The Forever Dog is a definitive, cutting-edge guide for every dog parent.

Dogs have been getting sicker over the past few decades, and scientists are beginning to understand that the diseases affecting humans — cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders — also afflict canines. Our canine companions are now vexed with health problems throughout much of their lives and have shorter lifespans. It is up to pet parents to make smart choices for their dogs' lasting vitality and health, since they are unable to make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves. The Forever Dog gives us the tools to protect our four-legged friends.

Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker talked to top geneticists, microbiologists, and researchers, and interviewed people around the world whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with practical information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them.
