Results: Would you want your dog to live longer?

A first-of-its-kind anti-aging tablet for dogs is now being tried out in elderly pets across the country — and so far, these old dogs love their new drugs. Boo, an 11-year-old whippet dog from Pennsylvania, is the very first participant in this clinical trial. Do you think this is a good thing?

One month into this multi-year trial, there's no way to know yet whether the drug works or not, but we do know that Boo is already loving his new daily anti-aging routine. He gets to eat flavored tablets every day, which are infused with a beef-like, savory taste. At mealtimes, Boo's eyes stare up longingly at the counter. No spoonful of sugar is needed to help his medicine go down. Do you think this drug can do what it says?

"It's going to be cash-pay accessible," Loyal CEO and founder Celine Halioua has said. "It's being designed for the majority of Americans to be able to afford it, and it's not going to need insurance or anything like that." In a previous interview she thought the cost would be "double digits" for a month supply. Do you think that cost would be reasonable?

The pill was designed to be used in almost all elderly dogs, aged 10+ and weighing over 14 pounds. While the study will take at least four years to produce results, the company is hoping that the pill might win a conditional approval with the FDA in early 2025, before clinical results showing whether the drug actually works are available. The company hopes that the pill can extend a dog's life by about a year. Do you think this could eventually work on humans to extend life?
