Morris Animal Foundation's Golden Retriever Lifetime Study will help identify major nutritional, genetic and environmental risk factors for cancer and other important diseases in dogs.
Researchers will determine if genetic mutations are directly linked to how well or how poorly a cat with heart disease responds to clopidogrel, a blood thinner used to prevent life-threatening blood clot complications.
Researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of omeprazole, a gastric acid suppressant commonly prescribed to treat gastrointestinal symptoms in cats with chronic kidney disease.

Researchers will determine if multiple parvovirus strains or other viruses are contributing to the re-emergence of panleukopenia, a severe and often fatal gastrointestinal infection in cats.
Researchers will explore novel ways to diagnose and predict the likelihood of a cat to develop feline infectious peritonitis, a highly fatal viral disease with no known cure.
