In this first-of-a-kind book for dogs and their people, Dr. Franklin Utchen, a small animal veterinarian with over 35 years of experience in daily practice, helps answer that question. Based on exhaustive research in dogs, humans, mice, and more, he details the leading-edge knowledge about the science of longevity as it applies to our dogs.

Dr. Utchen explains in common terms why an animal ages and discusses the simple "longevity" meds that a pet caretaker can start giving today to help a dog live his or her life as long and healthy as possible.

If you want to know the latest information about how to help an old dog live younger, and a young dog live younger longer, then this book is for you and your pup.
