Paws For Thought
“When your dog leans on you, it's not just for balance - it's their way of saying you are my home.”
Paw Health
Longer Leash On Life
Every dog owner wishes their pup could grow old with them, and science has just taken a step closer to giving us more time with our 🐩 best friends.
What if dogs could live longer, healthier lives? Loyal’s Celine Halioua has raised $135 million from top investors 🪙 to develop canine longevity pills - and Loyal expects to receive its first conditional FDA approval next year. Fetch the full story here.

🤔 Interesting Fact
Dogs Understand You Best
Research shows dogs are incredibly skilled at reading people. They can pick up on your facial expressions, tone of voice, and even small body movements better than chimpanzees. That famous head tilt or sudden tail wag isn’t random - it’s your dog tuning in to your mood and reacting to how you feel. It’s one of the big reasons the bond between dogs and their humans feels so natural.
