This Issue’s “Healthful” Hints

How about a whole book of “Healthful” Hints? In addition to being the world’s most followed veterinarian on social media with more than 2.2 million animal lovers following her on Facebook, College of Veterinary Medicine alumnus Dr. Karen Shaw Becker is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Forever Dog. The book gives practical, science-based tools to protect companion animals.

Many of the tips in The Forever Dog are similar to what physicians tell their human patients – eat right, get plenty of exercise and do the things you love.

“Dogs are really victims of their owners’ health and wellness choices,” Becker says, “and we spend a lot of money buying things for our dogs. Shouldn’t we be doing things that will prolong their lives?”
