CSDE Affiliate Daniel Promislow, Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and Co-Director of the Dog Aging Project, was recently featured in the New York Times article, “How Science Went to the Dogs (and Cats).” The article discusses how research on canine cognition and behavior has increased over the last couple of decades and includes different pet projects from various universities and research centers across the country. Dr. Promislow’s research with the Dog Aging Project includes information on how dogs with active lifestyles are less at risk to develop “doggy dementia”, how homes with multiple pets can be good for canine health, and asks the question “What are the biological, environmental and lifestyle factors that influence healthy aging in dogs?”
