Resumen del Editor

In this pathbreaking guide, 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.

Like their human counterparts, dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, our beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because our pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health.

The Forever Dog gives us the practical, proven tools to protect our loyal four-legged companions. Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, globetrotted (pre-pandemic) to galvanize the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers; they also interviewed people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them.

The Forever Dog prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction, and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. The authors discuss various types of food—including what the commercial manufacturers don’t want us to know—and offer recipes, easy solutions, and tips for making sure our dogs obtain the nutrients they need. Habib and Dr. Becker also explore how external factors we often don’t think about can greatly affect a dog’s overall health and well-being, from everyday insults to the body and its physiology, to the role our own lifestyles and our vets’ choices play. Indeed, the health equation works both ways and can travel “up the leash”.

Medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This definitive dog-care guide empowers us with the knowledge we need to make wise choices and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come.

Excellent Book

I recommend for any doggy parent! I am looking forward to doing more research and implementing what I learned from this this book.

A MUST listen!!!

An absolute “must listen” for anyone who loves a dog and wants to give them the best and longest life possible!

GAME CHANGER!!!!

THIS book is absolutely a game changer for anyone wanting to enhance their pets life, give them the absolute best chance of having a long healthy life and informing pet parents about the hard truth about the pet industry. The tools and tips in this book have completely given my 16 yr old senior doxie a whole new lease on life and I expect him to live MANY more happy years without pain, degeneration or disease. He is truly thriving since utilizing the tools in this book. Any true dog lover and pet parent would benefit tremendously by applying even just some of the suggestions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a listen if you want your best friend to have the best life possible. Thank you to the authors for sharing this absolutely priceless and valuable information!!!!!!!

Love this book!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏. It has been so helpful to me (and my pups)!

I’ve learned so much

This book has changed mine and my dogs lives. I’ve always focused on their food health but it didn’t cross my mind that there’s just so much more that goes into health outside of food and herbs. I know it sounds silly but even doing things like sniffing walks for their physical and cognitive health, putting an organic sheet where they lay, etc has completely transformed my thought process. I’m SO excited to get their 2nd book the Forever dog Life today!!! I really hope they come out with an auditable version for that one too.

Every dog owner needs to listen to this!

I just finished reading The Forever Dog (actually I cheated and listened to the audiobook. 😁) I’ll give it 5 stars! I still think every dog owner should read it. I learned a lot and it made me think about my own health. It’s packed with so much information and different strategies to help our dogs live longer. It even made #1 New York bestsellers list. It’s the first dog health book that ever made the list and they were on the top! I’ve been following Dr. Becker and Rodney Habib for years and I know they put their heart and soul into this book. They truly want to make an impact in the lives of pets the way I do. ❤️

Great reference book, lousy narration

I'm a longtime fan of both the authors. The book has lots of valuable information, great job! To the female narrator: please work on your diction. The word "important" is pronounced "impor-Tant", not "impor-int". It's hard to take the material seriously when the narrator can't adequately pronounce *important* words.
