Dogs Examined exposes the truth about the systems, assumptions and cultural habits that shape our dog’s lives. It confronts the corporate takeover of veterinary care and the financial machinery behind chronic disease, processed diets and harmful and unnecessary procedures. It strips away the myths surrounding training, dominance, socialization, nutrition, stress and anxiety and spay/neuter, and replaces them with up to date evidence-based knowledge and practical guidance as we know thus far. Some of what you read will make you angry and some will break your heart, but all of it is written for the dogs we love. If you’re ready to face the truth about the pet care industry this book is for you.  

Most importantly, it’s for people who believe their dogs deserve better. It’s for guardians who want to make informed choices, trainers who want to raise industry standards, professionals who want clarity and anyone who feels that “the way it’s always been” is just not good enough anymore. It’s a roadmap to understanding what dogs truly need to live emotionally rich, physically healthy and deeply connected lives.
