That’s why a U.S.-based biotech company is developing new drugs that could help to extend the lifespan of our beloved fur babies. Loyal, an animal health company, is developing a range of preventive care products for dogs, aiming to address the root causes of age-related diseases and delay their onset. Their pipeline includes treatments for dogs of all sizes, including LOY-002, a daily pill designed to promote healthy aging in senior dogs. LOY-002 targets metabolic dysfunction — a key factor in age-related decline — and may help extend both lifespan and quality of life, according to the company’s website. Medium-sized breeds, such as Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, and Cocker Spaniels, tend to live around 10 to 12 years.
