The 32-Month Secret: How Fresh Food Can Add Years to Your Dog’s Life

The 32-Month Secret: How Fresh Food Can Add Years to Your Dog’s Life

Every pet parent has the same wish: "I want my dog to live forever."

While we can't promise forever, science has found a way to add nearly three extra years to your dog's life. And the secret isn't a new medicine or a rare supplement—it’s simply what you put in their bowl every day.

The Study That Changed Everything

In a landmark 5-year study conducted by researchers Lippert and Sapy, they tracked the health and lifespans of 522 dogs. The goal was to find out what factors actually help dogs live longer.

The results were shocking.

They found that dogs fed a fresh, high-quality diet lived an average of 32 months longer than dogs fed industrial, processed canned food.

Let’s look at the numbers:

  • Dogs on Industrial Food: Average lifespan of 10.4 years.

  • Dogs on Fresh Food: Average lifespan of 13.1 years.

That is a difference of 2.7 years. Imagine having nearly three more years of walks, tail wags, and cuddles with your best friend.

Why Does "Fresh" Make Such a Difference?

The researchers concluded that diet was the "single most profound determinant" of life expectancy.

Industrial pet food (like dry kibble or mass-market cans) is often processed at extremely high heat, which can destroy natural nutrients and create inflammatory compounds. Fresh food, on the other hand, retains its natural moisture, vitamins, and protein structure.

It’s the difference between eating fast food every day versus eating a home-cooked meal. Over a lifetime, that difference adds up.

You Don't Have to Cook All Day

Many pet parents in Bangalore want to feed fresh, but they simply don't have the time to chop chicken, boil veggies, and balance nutrients every single day.

That is why we started Doggos.

We make fresh, preservative-free food right here in Bengaluru. Our recipes (featuring our famous Green Monster!) use real chicken, rice, and veggies—gently cooked to keep the "life" in the food.

If you aren't ready to switch to a full fresh diet yet, you can start small. Adding our Instant Bone Broth to your dog's current bowl boosts their hydration and nutrition instantly.
