The definitive, cutting-edge guide for every dog parent. Like their human parents, dogs have been getting sicker over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the diseases affecting humans - cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders - also afflict canines. As a result, our canine companions are vexed with health problems throughout much of their lives and have shorter life spans. Since our pets can't make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it's up to pet parents to make smart choices for their dogs' lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the tools to protect our four-legged friends.
