Book: The Forever Dog — Surprising New Science to Help Your Dog Live Younger, Healthier & Longer (Hardcover, 2021)
Why read this book
If you want more healthy years with your dog, this #1 New York Times bestseller turns cutting-edge longevity research into everyday actions you can actually do. Pet-health advocates Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Shaw Becker translate complex science into simple choices—in the bowl, on walks, and at the vet.
Book summary
The Forever Dog investigates why modern dogs face more chronic disease and shows how nutrition, movement, environment, stress reduction, and enrichment can extend both lifespan and “healthspan.” Drawing from interviews with leading scientists and a global look at canine cultures, the authors outline an evidence-based plan: build a better bowl with diverse fresh foods, support the microbiome and metabolism, reduce toxic exposures, create daily movement/play routines, and protect rest and connection—so your dog can thrive longer.
