The Forever Dog Life: 120+ Recipes, Longevity Tips, and New Science for Better Bowls and Healthier Homes ― A Natural Dog Care Guide

This book is like a bible for help with options for making your own dog food and treats. Had lots of other information, so wasn’t just a cook book. I would buy this book as gift for friends!

This book exceeded my expectations in every possible way!!! I was immediately amazed at how beautiful the photographs were, like a coffee table book. It includes so much more than recipes. If you like making your own products, there are recipes for everything pet related. The food recipes include caloric content as well as the benefits of the ingredients used. Guidance based on activity levels and age are also provided, as well as how to create your own recipes using all the info. I would buy it again to give as gifts.

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 purchased this book for the frozen treats recipe for the poolside. After skimming through, there is a lot of good information and healthy food suggestions with easy to understand recipes. My adult son has an upcoming birthday, so I ordered this book for him. It will be a gift from my fur babies. My son recently added a beautiful Collie to his family, this will definitely be a good reference for a healthy pet. Highly recommend this book.

Would have given five stars if the delivery was not so horrible. It took me almost a month to receive my order and clearing it up was a long process. The product itself is great. Wonderful recipes for those who do not want to feed their pets kibble. Many of these can be given to cats too. Great nutritional advice for different breeds, ages, and activity levels. Strong believer that pets should not be given kibble and this book is a good guide to get your pet started on a fresh diet.

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!

I buy this book, give them away, and frequently recommend it in groups. Dr. Karen Becker is knowledgeable and an expert in her field.

Es un libro muy hermoso, se nota que está hecho con mucho amor y con información sumamente valiosa, si eres mamá o papá humana de un perrito o gatito, y lo amas de verdad, lo necesitas. Lo recomiendo al mil %

This book, The Forever Dog Life is good. The quality, writing and pictures make for an excellent book. It wasn’t for me however, I returned it. If it was less expensive I would have probably kept it but it was worth the return for me. It is a book like the many abandoned cookbooks on my shelves that are doomed to never being used and eventually get donated away. The ingredients needed for all of the recipes I glanced at are vast and certainly not the sort of thing I have knocking around. I understand the authors have researched and done their homework but seriously guys?! Unless you have unlimited funds, time and patience I can’t see the proposed doggy diet being at all doable. I want my dog to live forever, I do. I really want her to live as long and healthy life as possible. After reading a little of this book I was left feeling that her raw meat organic diet with organic veg and bone plus suppliaments is severely undernourishing her. Is it really? Should I be left feeling like a failure? Life is too short to spend it running around collecting eclectic elusive expensive products. IMO better spend that time playing with, walking and interacting with my already well nourished dog.

Love this book. There are a lot of new and useful information in it.
