Healthy aging for dogs

Decoding the biology of aging.

Understand how your dog is aging, so you and your vet can make more informed decisions about their health over time.

Always speak to your vet about your dog’s health.

Healthier dogs, happier homes.

As dogs get older, everyday routines start to change.

What we’ll measure

Signs of aging

Different health signals, tracked over your dog’s life, to show how their body changes with age.

  • DNA sequencing

    Reading the genetic code your dog was born with.

  • Protein analysis

    The proteins that keep the body running, and how they shift with age.

  • Immune system function

    How well your dog’s defences work, and how much inflammation is present.

  • Blood health

    The blood markers your vet already uses — followed over years, not one visit.

  • Gut health (microbiome)

    The gut bacteria linked to digestion, immunity and aging.

  • Physical activity

    How much your dog moves, rests and plays each day.

  • Lifestyle & environment

    Diet, routine, home and surroundings — the everyday things that add up.

OuNooi Labs™ does not currently collect samples, lab results or medical records. We do not diagnose, prevent or treat disease, and we cannot predict an individual dog’s lifespan.

Dog lifespan & health

How long do different breeds live?

Larger dogs often enter their senior years sooner, while smaller dogs tend to age more gradually and enjoy longer lifespans.

OuNooi Labs™

Current aging research still points to simple foundations: exercise, social connection, good nutrition, and quality sleep. Dogs naturally support many of these by keeping owners active, creating social moments, and building routine. He believes that supporting dogs as they age may also support healthier routines for their owners.
