Some of Our Studies

From Tip to Tail

Canine Studies

Veterinary Advances for Dogs

Since 1950, we have invested over $55 million in more than 1,160 canine health studies. We’ve contributed to early research that contributed to the parvovirus vaccine and development of genetic tests for heart diseases, eye diseases and seizure disorders. We also are at the forefront of funding cancer studies in dogs, including hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma and osteosarcoma.

Dog people get it. Life just wouldn’t be the same without these devoted, loving and funny members of our family. So, you want them to have the longest, healthiest lives possible. And so do we.
