Anti aging pill for dogs

A first-of-its-kind anti-aging drug for dogs that targets the metabolic fitness process has now entered clinical trials.

A spokesperson for Loyal, the company behind the drug, said by targeting the metabolic health of dogs it aims to “reduce the impact of age-associated diseases and maintain their quality of life as they age.”

“Our metabolism changes as we age, leading to reduced health, and dogs are no different. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of aging, Loyal hopes to extend the lifespan of dogs and maintain their quality of life as they age,” the company said in a statement.

Dogs get to go first, and I'm ok with that. They deserve longer lives.

And this is not just a little extra time, but potentially years.

A new anti-aging pill for senior dogs just entered clinical trials. Could it one day help humans live longer?

A new drug could extend the lifespan of dogs by years. A healthy aging expert says it could help advance the aging space.

Moreover, humanity knows 1000 ways to radically shorten people's life expectancy... That sounds interesting.

I find a very interesting irony in the way Westerners have created a quasi-world for themselves, sincerely believing that they live apart from the rest of the planet. You are fighting global warming, when children in the Congo work in cobalt mines and mines from the age of 5, extracting cobalt, which is so important for modern batteries, the vast majority of them do not live to be 25 years old, and the main mortality occurs before the age of 15.
Probably this life-prolonging drug will be useful to them... or not.

OK. I have no idea how this is remotely related to the topic at hand, but sure.

I suppose... I was too much... inaccurate... just like you said in your formulations.
Using the expression "for people" is incorrect... for Americans, Europeans, for the rich people of the rest of the world, for your dogs of course... but not for people.

I’m in the 4th quarter and all I want is what I am gonna get, **** living to be 100!

That said, dogs lives are way to short, but I object to human experimentation on natures boundaries.

All modern medicine, from band aids to cataract surgery and hip arthroplasties, is “human experimentation in nature’s boundaries”.

The average life expectancy in the ancient world was about 21.

If there was a safe medication to give dogs that extended their lifespans, I know many people who would make it a regular part of their 4 legged family member daily routine.

Especially for bigger breeds - as bigger dogs tend to have shorter lifespans. If I could keep my labs happy and healthy for 20 years, I’d do backflips.

My dogs are beloved family members that we wished lived longer. We feed them the best we can, they get regular vet visits, they take supplements known to help, and we do everything in our power to give them long, healthy happy lives.

We have a 13.5 year old lab that we will have to put to sleep eventually because his hips are shot. We are currently going through every treatment available to keep him happy and pain-free. But we are on borrowed time because eventually, they’ll all lose efficacy.

If there was a pill that could have prevented the degeneration of muscle, etc - he would have been taking it.

This pill won’t help him - but perhaps it gets approved, then eventually my currently 1.5 year old lab might be able to take it so she has a longer lifespan.

I wish them great success. And then hope that whatever they find effective for dogs can be applied to human science also.

Science for the win!
