Launched in late 2019, The Dog Aging Project is a major research initiative designed to study the health and lifestyles of dogs across the U.S. Originally aiming for 10,000 enrollments, the project quickly evolved to over 50,000 participants, largely due to pandemic-related changes in dog ownership. Researchers gather comprehensive data on dog care, including diet, exercise, and medications, to analyze factors influencing aging in canines, with hopes that the findings will translate into beneficial strategies for human health and longevity.
Ultimately, I would really like to know what the right recipe is for a long, healthy life for our dog companions, says Ruple.
Through the project, scientists hope to better understand what contributes to dog aging, how to ameliorate its effects and leverage the knowledge into insights about human health.
