Now, they provide practical tools to protect our loyal four-legged friends, interviewing people whose dogs have lives into their twenties, and even their thirties, along the way. This book focuses on food and nutrition, movement, environmental exposure and stress reduction, from the pros and cons of various types of pet food, including what commercial manufacturers don't want us to know, to the role our own lifestyles and out vets' choices play
