This groundbreaking book aims to help dogs live healthier, longer lives. When Rodney Habib's dog, Sam, was diagnosed with cancer at five and given only six months to live, he embarked on a mission to save her. This journey led him to world-renowned veterinarian Karen Becker, who shares his goal of enhancing the quality of life for dogs and their owners. Over three years, they interviewed top geneticists, microbiologists, and researchers, gathering vital information that has the potential to transform pet care. Their findings have already changed Sam's fate; she is now 11 and thriving. The authors explored the secrets of those who have owned the oldest dogs, uncovering practices that helped their pets live into their 20s and even 30s. Backed by cutting-edge research, the book delves into key factors that can improve a dog's health and extend its lifespan, including the truth about commercial pet food and its impact on health. Practical solutions and tips are offered to ensure dogs receive the necessary nutrients safely. Additionally, the book examines how lifestyle factors—such as exercise, environmental toxins, stress, and veterinary choices—affect overall well-being, empowering readers to raise a healthier, longer-living dog.
