This is why we should always listen to what the MAJORITY of qualified vets are saying. The majority of licensed, practicing vets agreed that the evidence to support Bobi's alleged age was insufficient.

I have been trying to find the research data establishing the nutrition levels required by dogs for optimum health. I went through the WSAVA website but they don't present them. Could you tell me where to find the research. Many thanks.

I was instantly skeptical when I saw the claim that he was 31. I’m glad they looked into it

Same. I don't believe this dog was anywhere near 31. It's most likely there were at least 2 dogs in that time period...

My immediate thought when I saw Bobi was that there was no way an obese dog lived that long. Right as I was thinking it, you brought that up as your next point! That's so interesting that you brought up that people often don't know the age of their pets. I never know my pets real age because I adopt adult animals. It's always just anyone's best guess! I adopted my current dog 8 years ago as an adult. She could be 10, or she could be 13! It's hard to know. My former kitty was supposedly 6 years old when we adopted him, and I had him for 9 years. He could have been around 15 or he could have been 20 when he needed to be helped over the rainbow bridge. But regardless, I base medical decisions on their quality of life, regardless of age. Anyway, I was immediately skeptical about this as well.

@Vet Med Corner do you have a list of brands that manufacture Cat and Dog foods to WSAVA guidelines? Even poking around Hills website I can't find mention of that standard. Thank you for the valuable information you take the time to share!!

A great question! Currently, for over the counter options we have: Royal Canin, Science Diet, Purina, and (outside of the UK) Iams and Eukanuba.

I have a question that I'd love your opinion on if you have a chance. There is a post going around social media regarding pets and the upcoming eclipse. Telling people to keep them inside and close all blinds etc. No blind would keep my cats out of windows 😅, but personally I see it as a non issue since pets wouldn't be looking directly at the sun that day like they wouldn't any other day. Am I wrong? What are your thoughts on this?
@VetMedCorner

I haven't come across this post, so am unsure what they are thinking/claiming, but my thought would be that animals are generally smart enough not to look at bright objects. Also, if your animals are inside and have had their needs met they will very likely be napping, or doing anything they normally do (which is not staring at the sun). I'm not personally worried in any way about my own cat and dog with the eclipse.

I never believe these claims either. DVM Cellini also did a you tube on this topic. He also showed how one very influential vet as well as her sidekick influencer has capitalized on this by plastering pictures of the dog on her site. That alone would have made me skeptical of everything she claims
@VetMedCorner

I didn't know that the influencer was pasting photos of Bobi on her website 🤦 She was the one who was claiming his lifespan was 'proof' that feeding a (unbalanced, poorly formulated) home made type diet is the best way to feed our pets... You are incredibly wise not to believe a word that those two say, they have long left giving research based, accurate information and spread fear-mongering nonsense these days. I'm not familiar with DVM Cellini's videos, l will make sure to watch a few when I get the chance! Thanks for your comment, I love hearing from people! ☺️

😂😂 is it really that easy to get into Guinness? My childhood Pekingese Poodle Shaggy lived to be 20 just a few months shy of 21. We had him from just a few weeks old. And guess what he ate nothing but table scraps his entire life. Not 1 ounce of any kind of pet food. We couldn't afford it. I remember when milk bones first came out my mom bought them and Shaggy didn't even regard it as something edible lol. ...oh well Bobi. Nice try 😂
