The Puli, a spirited and intelligent breed, hails from the rolling plains of Hungary. Known for their distinctive corded coat, they have a unique appearance that sets them apart from many other breeds. These medium-sized dogs are not only remarkable herders but also beloved companions, thanks to their loyal and playful nature.

With an average lifespan of around 13 years, the Puli can enjoy many years of companionship and active play, making excellent family pets as well as diligent workers.

Emerging research in veterinary geroscience suggests that there may be innovative ways to support canine health as dogs age. The new veterinary longevity pill aims to explore these possibilities, drawing inspiration from studies on compounds like rapamycin. While not a replacement for good nutrition and regular veterinary care, such advances may open doors to extending the healthy years in a Puli’s life.
