  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Pet Longevity Lab, where we bridge cutting-edge science with pet care. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the fascinating world of bone health, hormonal influences, and the long-term impacts of spaying and neutering on pets.

    Drawing insights from a range of groundbreaking studies—including the effects of gonadectomy in Vizslas and ovariectomy in Beagles—we explore how hormones like testosterone and estrogen are critical to bone remodeling, joint health, and overall musculoskeletal development. Learn how disrupting this delicate hormonal balance through early sterilization can lead to increased risks of joint diseases, bone cancer, and even structural imbalances.

    We’ll discuss how these findings parallel human health, shedding light on the shared biology of hormone-related bone health and the potential role of hormone replacement therapy in pets. Whether you’re a pet owner or a veterinary professional, this episode offers valuable insights into the science behind your pet’s growth and development.

    Special thanks to the authors of these pivotal studies for driving the conversation forward. Tune in to uncover how advancing our understanding of hormones can improve the lives of our beloved pets!
