IF YOU ARE A PET PARENT, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
The Forever Dog Life book is a marvelous work of wisdom and art! In short, it is a MASTERPIECE! ð¾ðð»ð¾My pup is healthy and thriving today and I credit both authors of this beautiful book, Dr. Karen Becker and Rodney Habib (Planet Paws) for saving his life and teaching me most of what I know about pet health and nutrition.The first couple of years of my pup’s life I fed him ultra-processed food (kibble) from what I thought were ‘premium’ brands. He suffered from tummy aches and after several visits to the vet, nothing I did resolved the issue…until I switched him to REAL FOOD! Not only did his tummy aches go away, I saw him thriving in ways he had never before!I am always looking for better superfoods and recipes to add to his bowl and food rotation. This is why I am so excited about this book, which is BACKED BY SCIENCE and PROVEN RESULTS!The colorful pages are filled with longevity recipes and tips to keep DOGS and CATS healthy and thriving.The Forever Dog Life book includes recipes to complete and balanced meals, treats, and food toppers…but it doesn’t stop there… there are also recipes to make your home (inside and out) less toxic! And there is more! Also natural recipes for the body, shampoos, toothpaste, itchy pet remedies, natural mosquito and pest repellants, coat refresher, paw protector…and the list goes on!I dare to say that these recipes are not only for dogs and cats, but also a benefit to humans!Dr. Becker and Rodney are amazing people who have dedicated their lives to educate pet parents (they lovingly name them 2.0 pet parents! ð)…and now they have graced us with this MASTERPIECE! THANK YOU! ðð»Their first best-selling book (The Forever Dog) was the ‘basics’ and The Forever Dog LIFE book is the ‘how to’.Our companion animals have no choice on what they eat and they count on us to make the best choices for them.I love how Dr. Becker encourages all to take their time and implement changes at your own pace and lifestyle needs.I highly recommend this book to all pet parents!I don’t know everything, but I am always striving to learn as much as I can. I cannot say that my pup will never encounter a health issue, but if he does, I can say confidently that I did my best.

Even After Years of Cooking for My Dog, This Book Taught Me New Tricks!
I’ve been cooking for my dog for years, but this book taught me new things like “never microwave broccoli.” The tip about letting chopped broccoli sit for 90 minutes to make it more nutritious for preventing cancer…WOW!The book is gorgeous, filled with full-color pictures of food that make it a visual treat. It offers tips for picky eaters and remedies for GI issues, which are incredibly helpful.There’s a comprehensive table of all the mushrooms and their benefits, along with detailed information on the “Forever Foods.” The recipes are amazing, though not easy for newbies. However, they are very educational and something to aspire to.If you’re new to cooking for your dog, this book might feel a bit overwhelming at first. It’s a lot to take in. But don’t be discouraged. Every journey begins with a single step. This book will take you all the way. You’ll feel more confident and informed after reading it. Your dog will be super grateful for it!

I read all the way through this in one sitting because the amount of accessible information is really packed in there. I already feed my dog and cats a raw diet, but seeing how much more food variety dogs and cats can actually eat is both eye-opening and exciting! It’s given me plenty of future meal, topper, and enrichment ideas with the abundance of ingredients listed, how much to feed, and why they’re good for your pets. It goes beyond what you can feed your pets and extends to things you use around the house, like cleaners, laundry detergent, pest deterrents, pet shampoo and conditioner, and so on.The information is laid out in easy-to-read ways, with text often broken into small chunks and illustrations/photos and negative space giving your eyes plenty of breaks. My one formatting complaint is that there are several paragraphs that start out as single column and then switch to double column without a space between the two types. This is really disruptive as my eyes lost the natural path to follow while reading. It’s a minor complaint, but it stands out because I can’t think of any other complaints I have.I bought this as someone not looking for meal recipes, but more so for general information on what ingredients are safe for my dog and cats to consume, safe quantities based on body weight, and some natural alternatives to household cleaning products and pest deterrents. I wasn’t disappointed. Visually, it’s a beautiful book, and the hardcover feels well made. The spine didn’t crack while reading (if you’re picky like me, I cringe at cracked spines). There’s a wealth of information here for those interested in feeding fresh foods to their pets, even if it’s just for treats or toppers, and not looking to replace entire meals.

WOW…. what an awesome book!….and no I’m not easily fooled by things like this, I have seen and binned many before… This, however, is the ‘creme de la creme’.I’m not much for cooking, but, this book has changed my mind, and I am sure much if not all will suffice for me and my dog companions, it’s very instructive, both for human and animal nutrition wise etc.,Good clear colourful pictures, well-defined chapters etc., etc., etc…, this is the second one I bought, I just gifted one to a far more conservative, questioning family member than myself with positive results.And what’s more, there’s a whole online community to get involved in…So what are you waiting for?… BUY BUY BUY
