  1. capitalism is govt. the FDA is a complete joke. all human life has been reduced to base corporate slavery.

  2. This. A Money making scheme and scam and the FDA is in on it smh

  3. The problem with our world today is that people never ask whether or not they should do something. They simply make it happen, then worry about any ethical concerns later on, after people made a ton of money.

  4. I know nothing yet but i feel like its a scam for people who have loss issues.

  5. Pharma: we have a drug to make you live longer
    Dog: Hold my bone hooman

  6. Ridiculous. A year extra? I love my pets dearly, but when it's time for them to go, I respect their timing.

  7. Not only longer the lifespan but they should reduce the risk of dog dementia and Alzheimerโ€™s. Since itโ€™s focusing on proteins, they most likely can soon

  8. Sounds like something a liberal would do.

  9. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜…!!! Have you not learned anything. Enjoy your dog. Dont abuse with pharmaceuticals. THEY DONT WORK.

  10. My bulldogs would have loved that ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

  11. Hmmm? I wonder if scientists would go as far as testing this drug on criminal inmates, the ones on death row. Just to see if they can live out their sentencing.๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿค”

  12. Human beings dying of all sorts of diseases, but they're wasting time developing ways to let DOGS live longer. ๐Ÿ™„

  13. I get 13 years for my Dane breeding line. Quality not quanity.

  14. acceptable in dogs, and now you
