Good Old Dog: Expert Advice for Keeping Your Aging Dog Happy, Healthy and Comfortable

While driving yesterday I was listening to NPR's Fresh Air and was delighted to hear an interview with veterinary behaviorist Nicholas Dodman about his new book The Good Old Dog. You can listen to it now by clicking here.

Nicholas Dodman is the head of the Animal Behavior department at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and has worked with aging dogs for decades. He says that old age isn't a disease, but a stage of life for pets and owners to navigate.

Good Old Dog is an essential guide to anyone with a dog five years or older, this book covers subjects from nutritional advice to how to manage the costs of an older dog to determining when “it’s time,” all information to help ensure that your dog is happy and healthy through his golden years.

Nicholas Dodman is also the author of The Dog That Love Too Much, Dogs Behaving Badly and The Cat Who Cried for Help

I just picked up my copy of The Good Old Dog last night at The Book Passage in Corte Madera, I highly suggest everyone do the same.
