Dog research benefits both our furry pals and ourselves! 🐶💪 Please support our friends at DogRisk if you can ❤️
Did you know that supporting DogRisk benefits us humans, too? 🐶💗
Our One-Health focused group has realized that dogs and people often nowadays suffer from the same diseases. They also share the same living environment, are subjected to the same toxins, drink the same water, and often even share the same food.
Phylogenetically dogs are much closer to humans than mice or other laboratory animals and the sterile environment of laboratory animals is not at all similar to that of humans. The dog is therefore an excellent model for research of diseases that humans and dogs have in common, and many of our findings are meaningful for humans as well.
