Every dog owner makes the same silent promise: to love and protect this animal for as long as they're here. But how many good years you actually get isn't fixed at birth, and it isn't luck. It's built, day after day, from ordinary choices most owners never think twice about - what goes in the bowl, how much, whether your dog stays lean, whether the small problems get caught early.
In The Long-Life Dog, David DiLoreto cuts through the noise of the pet-store aisle and tells you what actually works. Drawing on more than twenty years caring for thousands of dogs at the boarding, daycare, and grooming resort he runs with his wife Penny - a certified professional dog trainer and animal behaviorist - David writes the way he talks to a worried owner across his counter: warm, direct, and honest about what's proven, what's hype, and what nobody actually knows yet.
Inside, you'll learn how to:- Feed real, varied food - and the right amount - to keep your dog at the lean weight shown to add nearly two years of healthy life
- See past premium, natural, and vet-recommended to the truth on the back of the bag
- Build a bowl that isn't just ultra-processed kibble - without breaking the bank or your schedule
- Protect the pillars beyond food: daily movement, a clean mouth, the aging brain, and everyday safety
- Understand the real science of canine longevity - from the Dog Aging Project to the supplements the headlines oversell - without the false hope
- Keep the mind sharp, face the hardest end-of-life decisions with love, and catch trouble early enough to do something about it
Practical, heartfelt, and grounded in real dogs and real science, The Long-Life Dog is the honest guide to giving your best friend the longest, healthiest, happiest life possible - measured not just in years, but in good ones.
Your dog is counting on you to get one thing right. This is the book that shows you how.Also from
