| Red Light Therapy, Recovery and Longevity in Dogs | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:50:43 | |
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 makes a pet supplement actually work? In this episode of The Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Colin Topham, founder of Alchemy Pet, about the science behind pet supplements, bioavailability, gut health and the future of natural pet wellness. Together they explore why not all supplements are absorbed equally, how advanced delivery systems such as microencapsulation may improve ingredient effectiveness, and why manufacturing methods can make a major difference to potency and quality. Colin shares the founding story behind Alchemy Pet and explains how the company is combining science, traditional nutrition and innovative supplement delivery to support healthier, longer lives for pets. The conversation also covers the growing importance of the microbiome, the role of gut health in overall wellbeing, and how pet owners can think more carefully about the “spectrum of care” between everyday nutrition, preventative support and veterinary intervention. This episode is essential listening for dog owners, pet parents, veterinarians and anyone interested in pet longevity, natural medicine, pet nutrition, supplement absorption and the future of preventative pet health. The conversation covers:
Colin also discusses the human-animal bond, the emotional reasons many founders enter pet health, and why better education can help pet owners make more confident decisions about their animals’ wellbeing.

| The Epigenetic Clock: How Lifestyle Choices Permanently Modify Your Dog’s Health | 25 Mar 2026 | 00:41:21 | |
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.

| Lessons From Human Aging Research That Could Help Dogs Live Longer | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:48:21 | |
Most dog owners want their dogs to live longer. Few realise that by analysing genetics, lifestyle, and biology together, we may be able to predict disease risk years before symptoms appear. In this episode, we explore how human longevity science - including aging clocks, epigenetics, fasting, and targeted supplementation - is now being applied to dogs. We discuss the concept of creating a “digital twin” for your pet, how environment shapes lifespan, which supplements show real promise, and what human longevity trends may actually be harmful for dogs.

| The Human-Dog Bond Explained: How It Impacts Dog Health and Longevity | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:44:04 | |
Most dog owners feel closer to their dogs than ever before. Yet our approach to dog health hasn’t fully caught up with how deeply that bond has evolved. In this episode, we explore how the human-dog bond is reshaping expectations around care - from preventative health and longevity to how science, data, and behaviour change can help dogs live longer, healthier lives. We discuss why early signs of illness are often missed, how longevity research in dogs can benefit both pets and humans, and why turning insight into actionable care is the next critical step.

| The Data Already Exists to Help Dogs Live Longer - We’re Just Not Using It | 28 Jan 2026 | 00:47:06 | |
Most dog owners want more time with their dog. Fewer realise that the data to improve a dog’s health and lifespan already exists, but is rarely used. In this episode, we explore how large scale dog health and insurance data can reveal patterns vets rarely see, helping predict disease risk, guide better decisions, and potentially extend a dog’s healthy years.

| How AI Could Help Dogs Live Longer, Healthier Lives | 14 Jan 2026 | 00:46:11 | |
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.
