Waterstones Says

A delight for all dog owners, this comprehensive and deeply-researched guide on how to keep our four-legged friends in the best possible health is filled with invaluable advice on topics like diet, exercise and environmental toxins, as well as a host of heart-warming stories of senior canine family members.

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

Like their human parents, dogs have been getting sicker over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the diseases affecting humans - cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders - also afflict canines.

As a result, our canine companions are vexed with health problems throughout much of their lives and have shorter life spans. Since our pets can't make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it's up to pet parents to make smart choices for their dogs' lasting vitality and health.

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.

The Forever Dog plan focuses on:
* diet and nutrition
* movement
* stress reduction
* tailoring care to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes
* recipes and types of food - and what the commercial manufacturers don't want us to know
* tons of practical tips
* how exercise, environmental toxins, and our lifestyles affect a dog's overall health.

Global medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health. The Forever Dog is the definitive dog-care guide that gives us the knowledge we need to make wise choices, and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come.

MEDIA REVIEWS

‘If you optimize your own diet and exercise for wellness and longevity, shouldn’t you provide your dog with the same thoughtful care? The Forever Dog has solid scientific guidance from trusted experts to help your dog live a long and healthy life, disease free.’ — DR MARK HYMAN, multiple number one New York Times bestselling author and Pritzker Foundation chair in Functional Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine ‘Everyone who lives with dogs needs to read this book. We all want our dogs to live longer lives, but the ingredients to healthy longevity aren’t in a pet food bag: The Forever Dog aims to make the tools just as accessible as reaching for that bag. This book is a thoughtful, deeply researched tribute to the authors’ love for not just their dogs but all dogs.’ — ALEXANDRA HOROWITZ, author of Inside of a Dog and Our Dogs, Ourselves ‘The Forever Dog is the ultimate guide to becoming your dog’s best health advocate. Its practical tips will help your dog live longer, healthier, and happier.’ — SERGEY YOUNG, longevity investor and author of The Science and Technology of Growing Young, founder of the Longevity Vision Fund, and development sponsor for the Age Reversal XPRIZE ‘The Forever Dog applies the latest science and principles about health and longevity to help your dog live longer and healthier.’ — DR. JASON FUNG, physician and New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code ‘Dogs are dying prematurely of more chronic disease than ever before, warn animal health activist Habib and veterinarian Becker in this must-read guide for canine owners. Habib and Becker go deep and share plenty of scientific data (on dogs’ microbiomes, aging, and epigenomes) along the way. For readers looking to keep tails wagging for as long as possible, this is a no-brainer.’ — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
