Veterinary Advances for Dogs
Since 1950, we have invested over $50 million in more than 1,120 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.
This Foundation-led groundbreaking study is the largest and most comprehensive prospective study ever undertaken in veterinary medicine. The study, funded and managed by the Foundation, will help identify risk factors associated with development of cancer and other major diseases in dogs.
