ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BY DR KAREN BECKER
Dr Karen Becker, Co-Author of the Forever Dog (a mustread for all you dog parents who want to know how to increase their dogs' longevity in simple, easy to implement ways – yes, we believe that that is every one of you!) is a holistic veterinarian focusing on improving the overall wellness of pets. Her primary focus is on implementing easy, manageable lifestyle choices that help improve your pets' wellbeing. She is the most followed veterinarian globally, thanks to her common-sense, proactive approach to creating and maintaining health and wellbeing in companion animals worldwide.
Dr Becker received her degree in veterinary medicine from Iowa State School of Veterinary Medicine. She proceeded to complete her exotic animal internships in California and at the Berlin Zoo in Germany. She is certified in animal acupuncture, homoeopathy and rehabilitation (physical therapy for pets). She has founded several animal hospitals across the United States, the most notable of which is her Proactive Veterinary Medicine Hospital (one of the main reasons for her immense following).
Proactive Veterinary Medicine focuses on preventing illness and disease through the creation of health through making wise lifestyle choices for your pet throughout their lifetime. This novel approach combines Wellness Veterinary Medicine to customise a lifestyle for your animal that allows them to live their best health lifestyle, often reducing age-related deterioration while promoting an ongoing state of wellbeing, increasing quality of life and often extending lifespan.
Her focus is on her belief that the foundation of good health and longevity is species-appropriate nutrition and an active lifestyle. Much like in human health, she prioritises moving more, eating better and eating fresh foods for improved longevity for our dogs. One of the most wonderful things about her approach to promoting these key concepts is inclusivity. She understands that not everyone can afford to feed premium diets and provides tips to everyone to help improve their dog's diet.
