"This study allowed us for the first time to examine when vets start noting that dogs are now in a stage of their life where they consider them to be 'elderly' or 'senior'."
"Understanding the characteristics of healthy ageing and differentiating this from adverse effects of age-associated diseases could improve the management of dogs in the senior and geriatric stages of life."
"In fact, older dogs are estimated to account for 30 to 40 percent of all patients seen in veterinary practice."
"Across all 832 dogs, the average age that vets considered them old was 12.5. Jack Russell Terriers weren't considered old until 14.1 years."
