Many dog parents will find longed-for hope when they read how they may have the power to prevent, improve and even resolve many serious canine health conditions. Understanding nutrigenomics and its effects on the genome is the first step, but the authors don t stop there; they offer sensible solutions for health in every chapter. Chapters on cancer, arthritis, aging, weight control and more, describe in practical terms not only how nutrigenomics can make a difference, but also exactly what to DO about it. --Barbara Royal, DVM, CVA, author of The Royal Treatment: A Natural Approach to Wildly Healthy Pets Want to help your dog live a long and healthy life?
