This is a condensed preview. The full Paw Print Report includes every section shown here in complete detail, plus 12 weeks of day-by-day protocol, 4 vet conversation scripts with exact words to say, a retesting schedule with target values, and instant one-click buy links on every supplement and food recommendation. What you see here is a representative sample - not the full product.
The Bottom Line
Cogua's biological age is 10.7 years against a calendar age of 9.9, meaning she is aging slightly faster than expected. The biggest driver is a 3.5-year unresolved ALP elevation combined with chronic ear infections, a pattern consistent with early Cushing's disease that her vet flagged in 2022 but never confirmed. Her daily swimming, fetch routine, and glucosamine supplement are genuinely protective. A low-dose dexamethasone suppression test within the next two weeks could close most of her biological age gap and protect 1 to 2 additional healthy years.

Human equivalent
≈ 72 yrs
Breed avg
10-14 yrs
Cogua is aging about 0.8 years faster than her chronological age due to metabolic stress from elevated liver enzymes (ALP 243, normal 5-160, flagged September 2022) and chronic overweight status (BCS 7/9). Her heart, kidneys (creatinine 1.4), and lungs remain strong, and her recent weight drop from 76.3 to 73 lbs shows she can lose weight effectively. Most urgent: confirm or rule out Cushing's, then maintain the weight trajectory.
Data Confidence: Moderate
6 of 8 lab categories have data from vet records, but the most recent comprehensive bloodwork is from September 2022 - over 3.5 years old. Fresh bloodwork would significantly sharpen this analysis.
Health Snapshot
One critical finding (unresolved ALP elevation suggesting Cushing's) and three elevated concerns (BCS 7/9 overweight, recurring ear infections, monitoring lipoma). The Cushing's workup is the highest-leverage action and should happen in the next two weeks.
Breed Context
Labradors carry elevated risk for hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and Cushing's disease, especially after age 8. Cogua's swimming routine is excellent breed-specific protection for her joints. The ALP elevation pattern is exactly what a Lab-aware vet should escalate, but generalist practices often miss it because Lab "fatigue" gets attributed to age.
14+ Aging Factors - Scored
Each factor is scored 1-10 with detailed explanation. Shown here: 4 of 14+. The full report scores all 14+ with the data behind each.

Top Health Concerns - Prioritized
Critical
Pre-Cushing's Syndrome with Hepatic Involvement
ALP of 243 combined with chronic weight issues and vet notation of "suspect pre-Cushing's" from September 2022 indicates high probability of developing clinical Cushing's within 12-18 months. Early intervention now can prevent lifelong medication costs. Watch signs: increased drinking (>4 cups daily), increased urination, panting at rest, pot-bellied appearance.
Elevated
Obesity-Related Joint Disease
At 77 lbs with BCS 7/9, every pound of excess weight creates 4 lbs of additional joint pressure. Chronic overweight in Labs accelerates cartilage breakdown exponentially after age 8. Immediate switch to prescription weight management diet recommended. Target 65-68 lbs by June 2025.
Personalized Shopping List
Every recommendation is specific to Cogua's data - not a generic "consider omega-3s." The full report includes instant one-click links to Chewy and Amazon for every item. Shown here: 2 of 7 supplements + food section preview.
$28/mo
Fish Oil (EPA/DHA)
Zesty Paws Pure Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil
2 teaspoons daily (3,000mg combined EPA/DHA) - split between morning and evening meals
Cogua's pre-Cushing's condition creates systemic inflammation affecting both joints and liver. High-dose omega-3s reduce inflammatory markers and support hepatic function. Critical for a 77 lb dog with documented joint stress and liver enzyme elevation. Dosing at 40mg/kg bodyweight per published osteoarthritis protocols.
2 tablets daily for 4-6 weeks, then 1 daily maintenance - with morning meal
At 77 lbs with obesity-related joint disease, Cogua needs pharmaceutical-grade joint support during weight loss. Dasuquin contains ASU (avocado/soybean) which is clinically superior to basic glucosamine. ASU supplementation shows 79% improvement in mobility scores in overweight large-breed dogs.
Milk thistle (liver support with exact silymarin %, dosing schedule), probiotic (specific strain for cortisol reduction), plus budget and premium alternatives for every recommendation with honest tradeoff notes
Food Recommendations
Primary Protein: Chicken or fish-based therapeutic diet
Cogua's current Costco salmon formula is too calorie-dense at 400+ calories per cup. Switching to a controlled-calorie therapeutic diet is the single most impactful dietary change available. Three options below at budget, mid-range, and prescription tiers:
Hill's Prescription Diet r/d
2.25 cups daily (1,125 cal) - clinically proven weight loss with L-carnitine
Current Costco salmon formula (400+ cal/cup contributing to weight gain) - Badlands beef formula (high fat stresses compromised liver) - grain-free diets (DCM risk in Labs, especially under health stress)
90-Day Protocol - Week-by-Week

🍖
Diet: Increase to 50% Hill's r/d. Total daily: 1/2 cup current + 1/2 cup Hill's r/d.

Week 2 Script - Baseline Labs
"I'd like to run a comprehensive metabolic panel including liver enzymes. Cogua's ALP was 243 back in September 2022, and the note said 'suspect pre-Cushing's.' I'd like to see where that stands now. Can we also add cortisol and inflammatory markers? I want a baseline before we make diet changes."
