The “Dog Aging Project” is a long-term longitudinal study on aging in dogs that began in 2018 with a grant from the National Institute on Aging, and has recruited more than 50,000 dogs from across the United States. The Dog Aging Project has the potential to create a better understanding of the causes and consequences of aging not only in dogs, but also in humans, given that dogs suffer from a very large number of the same diseases as humans, they live in the same environment, and medical care for dogs is second only to humans.
