Why do dogs age so much faster than we do—and can science change that?
The Dog Aging Project is one of the most ambitious studies ever conducted on canine health and longevity. By following tens of thousands of dogs across the United States, researchers are uncovering how genetics, environment, diet, and lifestyle influence how our dogs age.
Dr. Brynn Franks joins the conversation to explore what scientists are learning about the biology of aging in dogs, why some dogs live longer and healthier lives than others, and how this research could transform veterinary medicine in the future.
But the project is about more than science. Because dogs share our homes, our habits, and even many of our diseases, studying their lives may also help unlock clues about human aging.
What are the biggest factors that shape how dogs age?
Can interventions extend a dog’s healthy lifespan?
And what might our dogs teach us about longevity itself?
This episode explores the fascinating science behind aging—and how our closest animal companions may help reveal the secrets of living longer, healthier lives.
