Help save the Dog Aging Project. Despite being one of the most influential, productive and impactful NIH supported projects over the past 5 years, the National Institute on Aging has inexplicably chosen to withdraw support for the Dog Aging Project. For now, I’m won't get into

The Ruple Lab is hosting undergraduate researchers Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine this summer through the Multicultural Academic Opportunities Program. We will be working on Dog Aging Project research and would love to have help spreading the word. Learn more here: maop.vt.edu/program-servic…

What if dogs could live to be 30? 🐾 That’s the dream, especially of Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine's Audrey Ruple. But a relatively short life span of dogs enable a more complete study that could shed light on how to increase longevity & quality of life for dogs. brnw.ch/21wHyjE

This just out! Turns out dogs aren't only getting better. They're getting older. Dog Aging Project team members @norelation2anne, Dr. Audrey Ruple and the DAP consortium show that dogs are becoming longer lived, counter to many popular accounts. avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/…

Based on dog aging and mortality studies covering about 40 years (1981 to 2023), the lifespan of dogs has increased steadily. Dog lifespan ranged from 8.5 to 15.4 years, with the majority of more recent studies reporting longer lifespans. #CanineScience avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/…
