#76 Professor Carri Westgarth & Dr Lisa Wallis - Research into Ageing Dogs & the Ageing Canine Toolkit

#76 Professor Carri Westgarth & Dr Lisa Wallis - Research into Ageing Dogs & the Ageing Canine Toolkit

Grab yourselves a Wethers Original Bookshelvers... Let's chat about about getting old

“Dogs are living up to twice as long as they did 40 years ago which has implications for ageing dogs’ healthcare and wellbeing. As the life expectancy of canine golden oldies increases, so does the amount of time our dogs spend in poor health, but it may be difficult for us to distinguish between normal age-related changes and serious diseases that require veterinary treatment. To help address this, BSAVA PetSavers funded a major research project at the University of Liverpool – Old Age Pets – to help vets and owners provide the best care for their senior and geriatric dogs.”

We were thrilled to talk with the amazing Lisa Wallis and Carri Westgarth about their fascinating research on aging in dogs at what their research found. We touch on cognitive development, owner and veterinary perceptions, and how the practical applications of their research led to the creation of an exciting practical resource called the Aging Canine Toolkit. Lisa and Carri share fascinating insights from their experiences researching this topic we all discuss the need for more open conversations about aging and how best to care for our dogs in their twilight years.

All that and the usual tangential banter including a discussion about the reality show 'Traitors' which we are all addicted to.

Go on… Pop it in your brain holes! WOOF!
