New research determines the most important factors in a healthy, happy dog lifestyle.
New research shows the best way to keep dogs happy and healthy as they age with their human companions is by surrounding them with other dogs.
The latest study led by Snyder-Mackler, PhD student Bri McCoy, and master's student Layla Brassington, analyzed a survey of dog owners. "They found that the dog’s lived and built environment predicted their health, disease diagnoses, and physical mobility–even after controlling for the dog’s age and weight," the study reads.
This shows that for dogs, like many other animals, socialization is important to health, McCoy said in the press release. The study also found dogs that come from higher-income households were diagnosed with more diseases, though noted that's because pets in these homes have better access to medical care.
