- PMID 41860870 (2026, The Journal of frailty & aging) — OLD DOG - Validating the dog as an animal model for human aging studies... Companion dogs represent a valuable and emerging translational model for human aging, as they share the human environment, receive comparable medical care - yet have much shorter lifespans. Despite their potential, a validated set of canine biomarkers of aging has not yet been established. The OLD-DOG Project, launched in 2023 at the University of Padua's Veterinary Teaching Ho
- PMID 42195398 (2026, Life (Basel, Switzerland)) — Development of the Urogenital Microbiota in Healthy Beagle Puppies: A Longitudinal Comparison with the Dam... Characterizing the microbiota is essential to improve the understanding and management of urogenital disorders. Using 16S rDNA sequencing, this study investigated the urogenital microbiota, including urine, vaginal, and prostatic communities, in a litter of 10 healthy beagle puppies from 4 months of age until the completion of the first estrous cycle in females and 18 months in
- PMID 42188942 (2026, Veterinary sciences) — Case Report of Urethral Stenting in a Dog with Multifactorial Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction Associated with Suspected Transitional Cell Carcinoma and Severe Cystolithiasis... A 14-year-old spayed female Maltese dog presented with hematuria, pollakiuria, decreased urine volume per voiding, and prolonged urination time, and was diagnosed with multifactorial urinary obstruction involving suspected trigonal neoplasia and extensive urolithiasis affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Diagnosis was based on serum biochemical analysis, radiog
- PMID 42033281 (2026, Veterinary medicine and science) — Presumptive Congenital Unilateral Renal Agenesis With Contralateral Dysplasia/Hypoplasia in a Golden Retriever... <h4>Background</h4>Congenital renal agenesis with contralateral dysplasia/hypoplasia represents an exceptionally rare morphological presentation in dogs, with only one previous case documented worldwide.<h4>Case description</h4>A 4-year-old Golden Retriever (Canis lupus familiaris) presented with polyuria, polydipsia, inappetence and urinary incontinence. Laboratory findings re
- PMID 42195264 (2026, Life (Basel, Switzerland)) — Gonadectomy and Its Association with Orthopedic and Neoplastic Disorders: A Retrospective Study in Belgium-Part I (Bitches)... Gonadectomy is performed in bitches to prevent unwanted reproduction and reduce the risk of sex hormone-related conditions. However, growing evidence suggests that the timing of spaying may influence long-term susceptibility to non-reproductive diseases. This retrospective case-control study (2013-2023) evaluated the association between timing of spaying and the development of
- PMID 42071970 (2026, Animals : an open access journal from MDPI) — Overweight and Obesity in Dogs and Cats: An Exploration of Animal Welfare and Behaviour Impacts, and Recommendations for Management in Veterinary Primary Care... Overweight and obesity are prevalent among companion dogs and cats in the Western world. Affected animals are at risk of comorbidities and reduced longevity. This narrative review found that veterinary literature generally characterises overweight and obesity as nutritional disorders that are primarily addressed by reducing caloric intake. However, veterinary management of over
