The Forever Dog & Natural Supplements for Pets
If you’re like me and many other pet parents, you’ve probably read The Forever Dog by Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Shaw Becker, a best-selling book focused on pet longevity and wellness.
The book includes a chapter on natural supplements for dogs, helping readers better navigate the overwhelming number of pet wellness options available today. The authors share insights on how to support your dog’s health with natural, science-informed choices.
CBD Dog Health Featured on Planet Paws
On Sunday, January 23, Rodney and Dr. Becker went live on the Planet Paws Facebook Page for their Inside Scoop series, focusing on supporting senior pets with supplements.
Among the wellness tools they discussed were products to support brain health, joint comfort, and overall longevity. As part of this discussion, they mentioned CBD as a potential option—and highlighted CBD Dog Health as one of the brands they trust.

A Cautious, Informed Approach to CBD
In The Forever Dog, the authors offer a short overview of CBD for pets in their supplement chapter. They acknowledge that some pet parents have reported positive outcomes, but emphasize that not all CBD products are equal, due to differences in:
- Potency and dosing
- Extraction techniques
- Product quality and consistency
“The biggest issue with CBD… is because there’s so many companies and there’s a wide variety of dosages. There’s a wide variety of extraction. There’s a wide variety of different products… The quality, extraction techniques — all of these things play into how effective or not effective your CBD product is.”
– Dr. Karen Becker
Why They Mentioned CBD Dog Health
Rodney and Dr. Becker noted that not all CBD brands produce the same results, and encouraged pet parents to look for well-sourced, lab-tested options.
At CBD Dog Health, we use Full Spectrum Hemp Extract derived from organically grown hemp in the U.S. Our oils and topicals are made with CO2 extraction and tested by independent third-party labs to confirm cannabinoid content and check for contaminants.

Tips from Dr. Becker
During the live broadcast, Dr. Becker also shared guidance for pet parents who have tried CBD but didn’t see results:
“If you have not used CBD to help manage discomfort… it’s definitely worth trying. I will say that if you have tried it… and said, ‘I didn’t see a darn thing,’ definitely switch brands and definitely switch doses. That is an important thing.”
– Dr. Karen Becker
