The Forever Dog Life: 120+ Recipes, Longevity Tips, and New Science for Better Bowls and Healthier Homes

Drawing on examples of long-lived canine and feline companions around the world, Forever Dog coauthors Habib and Becker researched what promotes good health, happiness, and long life in dogs. This book is part explanation of that research, part breakdown of what makes specific ingredients so effective, and part cookbook for treats, supplemental food toppers, and full-diet options that give dogs the best chance to live a long, healthy life. The authors cite plenty of facts, link to their even more comprehensive website, and remind readers not to abruptly change their pet’s diet (one should first make a vet visit to check for deficiencies and then gradually mix the new food into the old one). Along with recipes for food, there are also recipes for household cleaners that are safe for the whole family, and dog hygiene products like bathing soap and paw soaks that can be made at home to replace store-bought items.
