Science
We're interested in one of the biggest questions in animal health:
How do we give dogs more healthy life?
Human health is entering a longevity era. Aging is no longer discussed only as time passing. It is discussed as movement, metabolic health, recovery, strength and the quality of ordinary days.
Our pets deserve the same ambition, with the same intellectual honesty.
01
Aging
Understand what changes in movement, recovery, metabolism and the texture of ordinary days.
02
Measure
Identify signals and biomarkers where scientifically appropriate. We will not invent numbers.
03
Intervene
Explore evidence-supported health and wellness interventions, classified honestly.
04
Learn
Improve recommendations as better evidence becomes available.
Evidence library

Aging
EstablishedCanine aging as a scientific field
Companion dogs are increasingly studied as a model of aging. Large research programs exist to understand how dogs age and which measures might relate to healthy years. This is category context, not a Better Years product claim.

Peptides
Emerging ResearchPeptides as biological signals
Peptides are short amino-acid chains. Some function as signals in tissue repair, inflammation, metabolism and aging biology. That is a description of a research area. It is not evidence that a specific Better Years product produces a specific clinical outcome in dogs.

Peptides
Preclinical EvidenceBPC-157
BPC-157 is a short peptide studied in laboratory and animal models for possible roles in tissue-repair signaling. That body of work is not the same as proven clinical outcomes in companion dogs. Better Years classifies canine use as preclinical to emerging.

Peptides
InvestigationalTB-500
TB-500 is a fragment related to thymosin beta-4, studied for cell migration and tissue remodeling in preclinical research. Canine evidence is investigational. It should not be treated as a substitute for veterinary treatment of injury.

Mobility
EstablishedMobility and everyday quality of life
Comfortable movement is one of the most visible parts of a dog's daily life. Changes in gait, jumping and walk length are among the first things owners notice. Veterinary evaluation comes first when those changes appear.
