Audrey Ruple studies factors that affect dog health and lifespan, largely through the large-scale Dog Aging Project, a long-term study following tens of thousands of pet dogs. Her work covers topics such as diet, body weight, vaccination practices, genetics, environmental exposures, and chronic disease, aiming to understand what shapes aging and wellbeing in companion animals. This research also has relevance to veterinary oncology and to comparing animal and human health patterns.
