The Dog Aging Project

The Dog Aging Project is a research initiative studying how dogs age, aiming to identify factors that influence healthy longevity and age-related diseases. By collecting health, genetics, and lifestyle data from thousands of dogs across different breeds and ages, researchers hope to uncover insights applicable to both canine and human aging. The project also explores potential interventions to improve quality of life for dogs as they grow older. Ultimately, it seeks to advance understanding of aging processes, benefitting veterinary care and offering broader implications for aging science.
