Measuring Changes
What we can discover…
The DAP tracks changes in your dog's condition mainly through surveys that you complete at home. We developed a set of at-home activities that will allow our researchers to go further and track the subtle physical changes that take place as dogs age. We can get a sense of mobility changes through a brief series of measurements along with timed jogging, running, and stair climbs.
We call these activities the Measurement & Mobility Activities, and around 1500 Pack members are now being invited to complete them. We hope to have the entire Pack join us in these activities next year.
Watch this month's Pack event and learn more about these activities:

Inside the Measurement & Mobility Activities
Signs of decreased mobility in dogs can occur as a dog gets older. The Measurement & Mobility Activities were designed by the Dog Aging Project to better understand these age-related changes.
