Your Dog’s Lifespan.
RILMENIDINE
Keeping our furry friends healthy and with us for longer is something we all wish for.
Long Live My Dog provides information on the progress of research in this arena, particularly focusing on Rilmenidine, a prescription medication for hypertension.
While Rilmenidine has been available in certain countries for years and is well-documented for treating hypertension, new and exciting research is exploring its potential in extending the longevity of animals.

THE SCIENCE OF LONGEVITY
AT THE FOREFRONT OF RESEARCH
Humans have been investigating longevity for years. Studies have been recently expanding to your furry friends and when asked, people are extremely interested in knowing how to keep their dogs around longer just as we humans want with ourselves.
Calorific restriction diets for humans have been at the forefront of longevity research recently but not animals.
EXCITING NEW RESEARCH
“Animals treated with rilmenidine, currently used to treat hypertension, at young and older ages increases lifespan and improves health markers, mimicking the effects of caloric restriction”.
RESEARCH LED
BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE SCIENCE OF AGING
“Professor João Pedro Magalhães, who led the research whilst at the University of Liverpool and is now based at the University of Birmingham, said: “With a global ageing population, the benefits of delaying ageing, even if slightly, are immense. Repurposing drugs capable of extending lifespan and healthspan has a huge untapped potential in translational geroscience. For the first time, we have been able to show in animals that rilmenidine can increase lifespan.””*
