Have you ever wondered if dogs are truly living shorter lives nowadays? Join us on Veterinary Vertex® as we welcome Dr. Courtney Sexton, who challenges this alarming notion with a recent JAVMA article. Contrary to popular media claims, Courtney reveals that household companion dogs' lifespans have generally increased over the past 40 years. We emphasize the need for standardized methods to capture and report mortality data, drawing insights from the Dog Aging Project and Courtney's evolutionary research background. This evidence-based discussion aims to reassure pet owners about their dogs’ longevity and debunk unfounded fears.
Beyond debunking myths, we explore the essential steps to improve the accuracy of dog lifespan reporting and enhance their end-of-life care. We also highlight the importance of preventative care and understanding multimorbidity in elderly dogs, stressing how specific traits can impact lifespan and quality of life. Finally, we underscore the critical need for client education to ensure that geriatric pets receive the best possible care throughout their lives. Don't miss this insightful conversation that sheds light on the way we think about dog aging.
