Dogs give us everything. The Mylo Longevity Lab exists to give something back: the science to help them live longer, healthier, and happier lives by our side. We’re building the foundational research that turns gut health into a genuine longevity advantage — starting in Hong Kong, reaching dogs across Asia.

Our Mission

Why the Lab Exists

Every pawrent knows the feeling. The greying muzzle that comes too soon. The slowdown you weren't ready for. Dogs age faster than we'd like - and for too long, we've simply accepted that as the deal.

We don't.

At Mylo, we believe that better science leads to better years. Not just better food - though that matters deeply. Better understanding. Of what drives healthy ageing. Of what the gut is telling us. Of where the science is still silent, and what it would mean if it weren't.
The Mylo Longevity Lab is our commitment to go beyond the bowl. It's where curiosity meets rigour - and where the future of canine health is being quietly, carefully built.

Three Pillars of Canine Longevity Research

Asia's Canine Microbiome Database

The gut microbiome is one of the most powerful windows into a dog's health — and in Asia, it's barely been studied. We're partnering with veterinary clinics and academic institutions with one goal: to build a real-world canine microbiome database that captures the true diversity of dogs across the region. A scientific baseline of this depth has never existed in Asia — and it's the foundation that makes everything else possible.

Longevity Biomarker Discovery

Some dogs age well. Others don't — and the reasons are written in their biology long before symptoms appear. We're working to decode those signals: the biological markers that distinguish thriving dogs from those quietly declining. Earlier detection. Smarter care. More time.

Science to Bowl

Research that stays in a lab doesn't help anyone. Every insight we generate flows directly back into Mylo products — our gently cooked meals, our MyloBiome™ supplements, every formulation decision we make. The lab doesn't sit apart from what's in your dog's bowl. It's the reason for it.

Our Science

Built on Serious Science

The Mylo Longevity Lab is led by Prof. William Tai, our Chief Scientific Officer, in collaboration with leading veterinary clinics and academic institutions in Hong Kong. Together, they bring deep academic expertise and frontline clinical insight to the foundational questions we're exploring — grounding our research in both scientific rigour and real-world veterinary experience.

“These are not just credentials on a page. They are working relationships — ones that keep our research honest, ambitious, and connected to the broader scientific community.”
We are looking for researchers and clinicians who share our belief that canine longevity deserves the same rigour as human health. If you're working in this space, we'd love to hear from you.

Giving Back -

Science That Reaches Every Dog

Better health shouldn't only be for dogs with the luckiest owners. That's why Mylo partners with NGOs and dog shelters across Hong Kong, donating our products to improve the nutrition, gut health, and overall wellbeing of dogs in their care.
For many shelter dogs, a balanced diet and proper supplementation can be the difference between chronic discomfort and a real chance at a healthy new life. We believe every dog deserves that chance — regardless of where they come from.
This isn't a side project. It's core to who we are. The same science that powers our products should serve the dogs who need it most.

For the Years That Shouldn't Be Missed

We do this work because the alternative — watching dogs age too fast while science stands still — is unacceptable.

Understanding canine ageing at a biological level is how we change that equation. Not with shortcuts. With knowledge.

Real, painstaking, peer-worthy knowledge about what the gut microbiome reveals, what longevity actually looks like in dogs, and how diet can shift the outcome.

Pawrents don't just want more products. They want more time with the dog they love.

That's what we're building.
