The Forever Dog: Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer by Rodney Habib, Karen Shaw Becker

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
When I started reading this book it felt very sensationalist and pseudosciencey in the way that it seemed to be trying to evoke fear in me by way of persuasion. I googled the book to see how credible it was and found endless claims that the authors aren’t qualified and are problematic, so I decided it wasn’t worth my time and I would find reputable and falsifiable information elsewhere. 

On another note, while I agree that over feeding a dog can be bad for their health, this book was filled with underlying fatphobia in the parallels it was drawing to humans, and I don’t think I could handle another 400 pages of that.
