According to a massive new study from Arizona State University, dogs that live with other animals live healthier, longer lives. And we’re not just talking about other dogs. Cats, chickens, goats, even the occasional ferret counts.

Dr. Noah Snyder-Mackler and his team analysed data from over 21,000 dog owners through the Dog Aging Project, and what they found is kind of wild. Social support was the biggest predictor of a dog’s health. Not the owner’s income. Not how big the house is. Not even how often the dog gets walked.

In fact, the impact of having animal companions was five times stronger than financial status. That’s right. A broke dog with a bestie is likely to be healthier than a lonely rich one.

These dogs showed lower disease risks, better physical mobility, and overall longer lives. It’s like nature's saying: “Hey, friendships matter more than fancy food bowls.”

And it makes sense. Just like humans, dogs are social creatures. They need company. They need interaction. They need to feel like part of a pack. Even if that pack includes a sassy cat who refuses to share the couch.

This doesn’t mean you need to go out and adopt a mini zoo. But if your pup seems lonely, maybe a companion could do more for their well-being than any supplement or vet bill ever could.

So yes, your dog wants cuddles and walks… but also, maybe a roommate.

The real secret to a long dog life? Friendship. Because even dogs know life’s better when you don’t do it alone.
