Could light play a bigger role in your dog’s health than we realise?
In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Jackie Jolie, founder of AnimaSol and an equine and canine physical therapist, about red light therapy, photobiomodulation, circadian biology and the role our environment may play in animal health and longevity.
Jackie spent nearly two decades working with performance dogs and horses before becoming deeply interested in light biology and developing full-body red and near-infrared light therapy devices for animals.
Together, Jackie and David explore both the promise and the limitations of red light therapy. They discuss what photobiomodulation (PBM) is, how red and near-infrared wavelengths interact with tissue, and why light-based therapies are increasingly being explored for recovery, mobility, pain support and general wellbeing.
The conversation also goes deeper into circadian rhythm and the everyday environment dogs share with us, including natural daylight, artificial lighting, darkness, sleep and time spent indoors.
Importantly, David and Jackie also examine where evidence ends and hypothesis begins, why complementary therapies can be difficult to study, and why improving quality of life is different from claiming to cure an underlying disease.
The conversation covers:
What red light therapy and photobiomodulation actually are
How red and near-infrared light interact with the body
Why circadian rhythm may matter for dogs as well as humans
The difference between targeted veterinary lasers and full-body red light devices
How photobiomodulation may support recovery, mobility and comfort
Why natural light, darkness and sleep are interconnected
The scientific challenges of studying complementary therapies
How to separate promising biological mechanisms from unproven health claims
Why movement and quality of life matter so much as dogs age
How Jackie developed AnimaSol’s light therapy technology for dogs and horses

The Epigenetic Clock: How Lifestyle Choices Permanently Modify Your Dog’s Health
mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 41:21
Most dog owners think about their dog’s age in years. But what if a dog’s biological age told us far more about their health?
In this episode, we explore how epigenetics and biological age testing could transform preventative pet health. By analysing small changes in DNA, scientists are beginning to understand how fast a dog is truly aging - and whether they may be at risk of disease before symptoms appear.
This emerging field of dog aging science could allow veterinarians and pet owners to intervene earlier, helping improve dog healthspan and longevity through smarter, preventative care.
