This study is part of the Dog Aging Project. One of the most important findings from the study is that dog breed is only one aspect of pet health to consider when creating a pet’s care plan or researching what kind of dog to adopt. “People should consider many factors when choosing a dog, including environment, lifestyle, social interactions and physical activity that will be available to the dog. Planning for both preventive veterinary care and medical care as the dog ages is also prudent."
