Scientists have explored the mysteries of aging in humans for hundreds of years, but now they're beginning to turn their attention to our pets.
Why do cats live longer than dogs?
Why do small dogs live longer than
big ones?
The answers could help us prolong the lifespans of our
favorite companion animals, as well as shed light on the mysteries of
aging in humans.
"The same things that allow us to live longer
also apply to our pets," says João Pedro de Magalhães, a
biogerontologist at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom
who maintains AnAge, the world's largest database of animal life spans.
"I don't think there's a set max. longevity for any species," he says.
"The real question is, 'How far can we go?' Maybe a thousand years from
now you could have a dog that lives 300 years."
First off feed dogs lamb and rice pet food and only give them reverse osmosis filtered water to drink.
This will go a long way in keeping them healthy.
Make sure cat food is sodium free and that they also receive reverse osmosis water.
