Life Long Purina Study Reveals How To Help Your Dog Live Longer

Purina® Life Plan™ Makes It Easier to Feed Properly
5/6/2002

What dog owner wouldn't want more healthy years with his pet? A new study from Nestlé Purina PetCare shows pet owners may have the power of longevity in their own hands.

In the first-ever lifelong canine diet restriction study, Purina researchers have proven that a dog's median life span can be extended by 15 percent – nearly two years for the Labrador Retrievers in this study – by feeding to ideal body condition through diet restriction, according to findings published in the current edition of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
