Dog Aging Project seeks more good doggos
The Dog Aging Project, led by researchers at the University of Washington and Texas A&M University, is currently seeking more dogs for its groundbreaking longitudinal study. The team’s research is designed to study the widest possible range of dogs and dog experiences, making it important to include canines from every part of the U.S. as well as a wide range of ages, breeds and sizes.
To date, the study has enrolled 44,448 dogs.
Researchers are specifically looking for older dogs, ages seven and up, and puppies and younger dogs up to age three. In addition, the teams would like to recruit more companion animals in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Washington state.
In recent months, members of the research team have published papers on associations between physical activity and cognitive dysfunction in older companion dogs, neighborhood disadvantage and dog walking among participants and development and evaluation of a survey instrument to assess veterinary medical records for multi-center research studies.
The Dog Aging Project is a nonprofit, academic research study funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, and other partners.
