Founded in 2018, the Dog Aging Project is the most ambitious project addressing canine longevity to date.
What determines a dog's lifespan
The life of a dog depends on various factors: heredity, living conditions, health and proper care.
The owner can influence many of these factors, which means he can increase the life expectancy of the pet.
What shortens a dog's life
Neglected diseases, parasites and dental problems significantly shorten a dog’s life.
Therefore, it is necessary to get vaccinations on time, contact a veterinarian if there are alarming symptoms, and regularly brush your four-legged friend’s teeth.
How to increase a dog's lifespan
For the health and longevity of your pet, you need a well-designed diet that contains a balanced amount of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins.
Don’t skimp on good nutrition, take care of your animal, don’t neglect proper walks, and don’t forget about prevention.
