  • Essential book for any dog owner! Essential book for any dog owner!
Format: Hardcover
On social media I belong to a group where we discuss cooking for our dogs as I have been making my own dog food at home over the past year. Someone within this group mentioned this book which is why I decided to purchase it. This book was only $15.41, which has now been reduced further to a current price of $14.55, for the hardback version which is a steal! This is a very good quality book with thick paper, sharp images etc. The information is invaluable for any dog owner in my opinion. It explains what dogs can consume, along with recipes for not only food but also medicinal along with tips and various other information. I haven't read the whole book yet but so far this is a keeper for me. I highly recommend this book and I feel this deserves a full 5 star rating! ... show more

  • Even After Years of Cooking for My Dog, This Book Taught Me New Tricks!
Format: Hardcover
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! ... show more

  • It is a terrific book. I have learned so much already.
Format: Hardcover
This is such an interesting book. I adore it, as I have been making my dogs' meals (added to some high-quality kibble). I would have my coffee and read a new chapter. It is so inspiring! But yesterday morning (while sipping my coffee), some pages fell out. And some others show a vulnerability in doing the same. I respect books and acknowledge the author(s) by handling books with care. I never lie them face down. I can still use it, but some of the beauty of the book is lost, as now I have to be so careful with it. I will still be able to learn much from it. ... show more

  • A Must-Read for Every Dog Parent
Format: Hardcover
The Forever Dog is an eye-opening and empowering guide for anyone who wants to give their dog the longest, healthiest life possible. The authors break down complex health and nutrition science into clear, practical information that’s easy to follow, even if you’re not an expert. What I loved most is how the book blends research with real-world advice—everything from diet and exercise to environmental factors and daily habits that make a real difference. The tone is positive and encouraging rather than overwhelming. Instead of pushing one “perfect” way to care for your dog, it offers options and explains why they matter, so you can make the best choices for your lifestyle and your pup’s needs. I also appreciated the evidence-based approach and the focus on long-term wellness rather than quick fixes. If you’re passionate about giving your dog the best life—or even just curious about improving your pet’s health—this book is absolutely worth reading. It’s informative, inspiring, and filled with tips you can start using right away. Highly recommend! ... show more
