Evidence-based cat & dog health

More good years with our beloved friends.

An evidence library, not a storefront. We read the primary literature on pet health — from the science of aging to specific diseases to feline infectious peritonitis — and write down what it actually shows, including where it runs out.

  • Every claim traces to a paper
  • Honest evidence stage on everything
  • Ongoing trials marked as ongoing
  • We publish the disappointing results too

What you’ll find here

Three subjects, one standard of evidence.

Everything here is sourced to the primary literature and graded honestly. Pick where you want to start.

Longevity

The science of aging in dogs and cats

Rapamycin, mitophagy, senolytics, immune decline — what the primary literature actually shows about living longer, and where it runs out.

Conditions

The diseases that shorten a pet's life

Heart disease and HCM, kidney disease, arthritis, cognitive decline, cancer, thyroid — what helps, what doesn't, and what to ask your vet.

FIP

Feline infectious peritonitis — now treatable

A once-fatal disease with cure rates above 80%. Symptoms, the evidence behind GS-441524, remdesivir and molnupiravir, cost, and a dosage calculator.

Have a question? Ask a vet.

Message us on WhatsApp and one of our veterinarians will help you work out whether any of this applies to your animal — and tell you plainly when the honest answer is “not yet” or “no.”

Ask on WhatsApp

A conversation, not a prescription. Anything for your pet still goes through a veterinarian who has examined them.
