Presenting HarperCollins Publishers The Forever Dog, a must-read for all pet parents. Just like humans, dogs have been experiencing an increase in chronic diseases and premature deaths over the past few decades. But why? Scientists have discovered that the same health issues that plague humans, such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders, also affect our beloved canine companions. This means that our pets are facing preventable health problems and shorter lifespans. As responsible pet parents, it is up to us to make informed and science-backed decisions to ensure our furry friends live long and healthy lives. Authors Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, traveled the globe to gather the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers. They also interviewed pet parents whose dogs have lived well into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, valuable advice, and heartwarming stories.
