The actual solution is to adopt smaller dogs and reduce the demand for larger dogs as they don’t have the levels of the growth hormone that larger dogs were selectively bred into having. Which is the cause for such shortened lifespans as compared to small dogs.
Not to develop a hormone therapy that just continues to perpetuate the practice that we now know causes these reduced lifespans.
At this point, this is just further enabling designer dogs.
I mean, this may prolong lifespans but Quality of Life is a lot more important that raw lifespan. I doubt this does much for those issues so it’s kinda moot.

Yeah, my question is how much will this help their teeth?
