Can Dogs Live Up to 30% Longer ?
Median life span for the dogs in study was 14.1, and a life span range 9.7 to 17.9 years.
Three longevity categories were defined on the basis of age of death: short lived, long lived and exceptionally long lived.
And what is very interesting is that…
“…the rate of increase in percentage body fat over time was slower for the dogs living long and exceptionally long lives as also was loss of percentage lean tissue over time …”
Eukanuba now has breed specific foods. For Example:
“Eukanuba Brand Director Javi Neves said that the campaign, while showing individual success stories, does “not make a blanket claim that all dogs, or your dog, will live longer. We’re not there yet. But we’re absolutely astounded at seeing these results.” Source: Adage
