We have more exciting research results to share: Dogs fed once a day are smarter, healthier, and may live longer! Read more about these preliminary findings related to one aspect of the Dog Aging Project’s ongoing work at https://conta.cc/3ZYBJjG
The Dog Aging Project, a University of Arizona-led study of the canine “healthspan,” is the largest canine health study in the world. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other partners, this important work is actively endorsed by the Foundation of the CTCA.
The Foundation encourages you to join in the Dog Aging Project. Our goal is to have enough Cairns participating to allow Cairn-specific results to be separated out from the overall findings.
If you join the study, you’ll be asked to provide information on your dog’s health, diet, lifestyle, behavior and so on, as well as your dog’s medical records and the results of at-home behavioral assessments.
To nominate one of your dogs, please go to https://dogagingproject.org
We appreciate your support of on-going research to improve the health of our breed.
