How AI Could Help Dogs Live Longer, Healthier Lives
Episode 2
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 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Veterinary medicine is sitting on a mountain of data — but most of it is still trapped in PDFs, siloed systems, and outdated workflows.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.
11:22 The Shift From Vet Authority to Owner Advocacy
14:46 Why PDFs and Legacy Systems Are Holding Care Back
18:09 Digital Twins Explained (Without the Hype)
21:37 How AI Can Drive Better Behaviour, Not Just Insights
25:08 Why Most Clinics Aren’t Ready for This Shift
28:31 What the Future Vet Experience Could Look Like
32:02 Final Thoughts on Trust, AI, and Dog Health

Raw vs Kibble vs Fresh Food: Dog Nutritionist Breaks Down What’s Actually Best for Dogs
Episode 1
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 42:08
Most dog owners want to feed their dog “the right way,” but nutrition advice is noisy, emotional, and often driven by trends.
In this episode, veterinary nutritionist, Megan Sprinkle, breaks down raw, kibble, and fresh diets, what the science actually supports, and why body weight and consistency matter more than most food debates.

The Data Already Exists to Help Dogs Live Longer - We’re Just Not Using It
Episode 3
Wednesday, January 28, 2026 • Duration 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.

14:36 What “Digital Twins” Really Mean for Dogs

The Human-Dog Bond Explained: How It Impacts Dog Health and Longevity
Episode 4
Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 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 Hidden Cause of Dog Aging: Chronic Inflammation Explained
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 49:06
Most dog owners focus on how long their dog will live. But the real goal should be healthspan - the number of years a dog stays healthy, active, and pain-free.
In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Dr. Heidi Lobprise, veterinary dentist, senior pet advocate, and author who has spent decades studying aging and longevity in pets.
Together they explore how chronic inflammation accelerates aging, why dental disease is one of the most overlooked health threats in dogs and cats, and what pet owners can do to help their animals stay healthier for longer.
Dr. Lobprise shares practical strategies for recognizing the early signs of aging, managing inflammation, and protecting your pet’s healthspan throughout their life.
The conversation covers:
Why chronic inflammation accelerates aging in dogs
How periodontal disease affects overall health
The surprising connection between dental health and longevity
Why obesity and visceral fat increase inflammatory disease
The early signs that your dog is entering the senior stage of life
How to monitor your dog’s body condition and muscle health
The role of mobility, pain management, and exercise in aging dogs
The 4 Pillars of Dog Longevity (From a Vet With 40 Years Experience)
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 50:13
Most dog owners want their dogs to live longer - but true longevity isn’t just about lifespan. It’s about healthspan, the years a dog stays healthy, active, and free from disease.
In this episode of the Dog Longevity Podcast, veterinarian Dr. David Haworth speaks with Dr. Kevin Toman, a veterinarian with over 40 years of clinical experience and a deep interest in functional health, preventative veterinary medicine, and longevity science.
Together they explore the real drivers of dog longevity, from diet and obesity to early diagnostics, supplements, and emerging longevity therapies like rapamycin.
Dr. Toman shares the practical strategies dog owners can use today to help their pets live longer, healthier lives — many of which cost little or nothing to implement.
The conversation covers:
The four pillars of canine longevity
Why obesity may be the biggest driver of reduced lifespan in dogs
How early diagnostics and preventative care can extend dog healthspan
The surprising truth about popular supplements that don’t work
Evidence-based supplements that may help joint health and aging
How exercise, lifestyle, and environment impact dog longevity
The science behind rapamycin and emerging longevity drugs for pets
The Epigenetic Clock: How Lifestyle Choices Permanently Modify Your Dog’s Health
Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 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.

The science behind dog healthspan and longevity
Why ultra-processed pet food became the norm
How whole foods and fresh ingredients may improve dog health
Simple diet changes that can support canine longevity
The connection between human nutrition and dog aging science
Why prevention is the future of veterinary innovation

Lessons From Human Aging Research That Could Help Dogs Live Longer
Wednesday, February 25, 2026 • Duration 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.
