The Dog Longevity Podcast

In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, Dr. David Haworth speaks with Dr. Kate Creevy, Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine at Texas A&M University and Chief Veterinary of the Dog Aging Project - the world’s largest long-term study of ageing in dogs. Together they explore what more than 53,000 dogs are teaching researchers about dog ageing, canine healthspan, lifestyle, genetics,...

Most dog owners focus on how long their dog will live. But the real goal should be healthspan - the number of years a dog stays healthy, active, and pain-free. In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Dr. Heidi Lobprise, veterinary dentist, senior pet advocate, and author who has spent decades studying aging and longevity in pets. Together they explo...

Most dog owners want their dogs to live longer - but true longevity isn’t just about lifespan. It’s about healthspan, the years a dog stays healthy, active, and free from disease. In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Dr. Kevin Toman, a veterinarian with over 40 years of clinical experience and a deep interest in functional health, preventative ve...

Most dog owners think about their dog’s age in years. But what if a dog’s biological age told us far more about their health? In this episode, we explore how epigenetics and biological age testing could transform preventative pet health. By analysing small changes in DNA, scientists are beginning to understand how fast a dog is truly aging - and whether they may be at risk of disease before sympto...

Most dog owners want their dogs to live longer - but longevity isn’t just about lifespan. It’s about healthspan , the years a dog stays healthy, active, and thriving. In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast , veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Marisa Hoskins , certified canine nutritionist and founder of Puppy Gang Fresh Foods. Together they explore how canine nutrition, preventative...

Most dog owners want their dogs to live longer. Few realise that by analysing genetics, lifestyle, and biology together, we may be able to predict disease risk years before symptoms appear. In this episode, we explore how human longevity science - including aging clocks, epigenetics, fasting, and targeted supplementation - is now being applied to dogs. We discuss the concept of creating a “digital...

Most dog owners feel closer to their dogs than ever before. Yet our approach to dog health hasn’t fully caught up with how deeply that bond has evolved. In this episode, we explore how the human-dog bond is reshaping expectations around care - from preventative health and longevity to how science, data, and behaviour change can help dogs live longer, healthier lives. We discuss why early signs of...

Most dog owners want more time with their dog. Fewer realise that the data to improve a dog’s health and lifespan already exists, but is rarely used. In this episode, we explore how large scale dog health and insurance data can reveal patterns vets rarely see, helping predict disease risk, guide better decisions, and potentially extend a dog’s healthy years.

Most dog owners want to feed their dog “the right way,” but nutrition advice is noisy, emotional, and often driven by trends. In this episode, veterinary nutritionist, Megan Sprinkle, breaks down raw, kibble, and fresh diets, what the science actually supports, and why body weight and consistency matter more than most food debates.

Veterinary medicine is sitting on a mountain of data — but most of it is still trapped in PDFs, siloed systems, and outdated workflows. In this episode, Adam Little and David Haworth explore how AI is starting to unlock that data and what it could mean for the future of dog longevity . They break down why veterinary clinics are struggling to keep up, how decision-making in care is beginning to shi...
