The Dog Longevity Podcast

Veterinary medicine is sitting on a mountain of data — but most of it is still trapped in PDFs, siloed systems, and outdated workflows.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 shift, and why pet owners are becoming more informed — and more influential — than ever before.

From broken medical records and fragmented histories to digital twins, predictive health, and behaviour change, this conversation looks at what’s genuinely coming next for dog health — and why the current veterinary system isn’t yet ready for it.

If you care about helping dogs live longer, healthier lives — and understanding how AI will reshape veterinary medicine, trust, and care decisions — this episode will change how you think about the future of dog health.

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.
