New Book Helps Dogs Live Longer
DogAge®: How Young Is Your Dog? by Dondi S. Dahlgaard, DVM
SAN DIEGO, CA (February 4, 2005) -- Multiplying a dog's age by seven is a haphazard way of assessing longevity. Now, dog owners no longer have to do the math. Building on the latest scientific research from the highly frequented Web site
www.DogAge.com, dog owners can be better equipped when caring for their pets with the new book, DogAge®:
How Young is Your Dog?
"I will show you exactly how to build a lifelong prevention and wellness program for your dog," says author Dondi S. Dahlgaard, DVM. "Your dog will live a longer, healthier, and happier life."
The U.S. contains 65 million dogs in 40 million households. However, very few dog owners have a clear understanding of how to keep dogs healthy and safe. Most dog fatalities could be prevented if their owners had been better informed about proper dog safety and care.
Dr. Dahlgaard teamed up with RealAge, Inc., creator of numerous programs that educate people about health conditions, disease prevention, and slowing the aging process. The result is
DogAge, a complete, nose-to-tail guide for dog owners.
