# MY ULTIMATE PET

> Symptom-guided longevity research for dogs and cats. Research categories are
> supplied in one consistent pen format, with every citation stated. Research use
> only — nothing here diagnoses, prescribes, or treats, and no outcome is promised.

## What this site is
- A research-information platform for pet longevity (dogs and cats).
- Two pathways: pet families (symptom-guided AI match) and clinics / research partners (protocol-guided, structured observation).
- Every research category states what the literature supports and what it does not establish.
- No licensing, prescribing, or veterinary services. Your veterinarian remains the centre of your pet's care.

## Evidence tiers used on this site
- Established foundation — well supported in companion-animal literature.
- Translational signal — mechanism or model data, not companion-animal outcomes.
- Investigational — no established safety, dosing, or outcome profile in pets.

## Citation policy
Sources are peer-reviewed or publicly published research (e.g. Kealy et al. 2002 lifetime
diet-restriction cohort, the Dog Aging Project TRIAD trial, Urfer et al. 2017). Each entry
links to the source and states its limits.
