The Dog Aging Project is looking for 10,000 dogs (any breed, age, or health status) living in the US to participate in an aging study looking to improve healthy lifespan. See the web site for all the details and how to nominate your dog for project:


Feel free to post on other dog forums / groups :) The project is open only to US residents.

Just heard about this on the news and thought I'd share.

:yeah: I saw that on the news also, maybe we were watching the same channel. ;)

One thing I would caution regarding the description in the statement below is to always check with your vet first if your dog is chosen for the subset to take this new drug. However, hopefully this will help pave the way for other ongoing research.:crossfingers:
"A subset of participating dogs will be selected to be part of a new clinical study to explore the potential of the drug rapamycin to improve healthspan."
