Lead the next chapter in veterinary care

Dog Years DAO is advancing research that could revolutionise canine longevity. We are building a partner network of vets and researchers to support our mission with patient data, research contributions, and logistical support for pioneering studies in veterinary science.

How we work with vets around the globe

Veterinarians are at the heart of what we do. Your expertise, insight, and care make it possible to bring this research into the real world — where it can change lives. Whether you're referring patients, contributing to the science, or simply staying ahead of the curve, we invite you to join us in shaping the next chapter of veterinary medicine.

Patient referrals for study enrollment

Help connect qualified patients with a novel opportunity to receive treatment and contribute to meaningful research. Participating dogs remain in your care, with our team providing study guidance and support.

Early access to cutting-edge treatments

Offer pioneering therapies to your patients before they reach the broader market. This allows you to explore advanced interventions with close scientific oversight and clinical monitoring.

Research collaboration and co-authorship opportunities

Join the research team to help refine protocols, monitor outcomes, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications. This is an opportunity to advance your impact beyond the clinic and into the scientific record.
