The Truth About Dog Years (Your Pupper Is Older Than You Think!)

The video debunks the myth that a dog's age in human years is simply their age multiplied by seven. It explores historical and modern research on dog aging, highlighting that dogs age rapidly in their early years and more slowly as they mature. Recent studies using DNA methylation patterns reveal that a one-year-old dog is comparable to a 30-year-old human, and aging slows significantly after seven years. This research can help veterinarians better diagnose and treat age-related conditions, potentially improving the health and longevity of dogs.
