Obesity and epigenetics
One of the most important health problems in veterinary medicine today is the epidemic of obesity in our pets.
Since starting Loyal in 2019, we’ve gone from just an ambitious idea to a team of 60+, two canine aging drugs readying for the clinic, our first clinical study successfully completed, and now, at last…a blog!
One of the most important health problems in veterinary medicine today is the epidemic of obesity in our pets.
The largest study of its kind, aimed at better understanding how dogs age—and how we might help them live longer, healthier lives
Lifespan is the amount of time lived. Healthspan is the time lived with vigor and good health. Which do you think is more important?
There are now lots of devices that let us call our dogs and say “Hi!” when we aren’t at home. But are these really for our dogs, or just for us?
Sometimes our dogs seem to read us like an open book! How do they know just how we are feeling? It turns out, our faces are a clear window into our emotions for our canine friends.
Dogs are exceptionally good at understanding humans; better than any animal outside our own species. But when we talk to them, we give a lot of information besides just words.
Dogs age a lot like humans, though sadly much faster. Helping us to better understand our own aging is just one of the many gifts our canine best friends give us.
Like death and taxes, aging has long been seen as unavoidable. Science is now showing us that this may not be true.
Humans are not the only animals to yawn. Fish, birds and mammals all yawn too. And, of course, so do our favorite animals here at Loyal!
There are many theories about how aging works. Lat’s take a brief look at two: Wear & Tear and the Rate of Living.
