New Veterinary Research Will Help Dogs Enjoy Longer, Healthier Lives

Helping animals enjoy longer, healthier lives requires ongoing scientific animal health research to give veterinarians the tools they need to better diagnose and treat animals. Morris Animal Foundation, a world leader in supporting research to prevent, treat and even cure disease in companion animals, horses and wildlife, has committed to funding more than 200 animal health studies in 2010, with support for those studies totaling $13 million over the next three years.

Funding will be provided to established researchers as well as new researchers, veterinary student scholars and veterinarians pursuing advanced study. Studies will take place at more than 60 of the world’s most elite veterinary colleges, zoological institutions and scientific research centers.

The Foundation will support more than 50 canine health studies that will research blood and eye disorders, infectious diseases, orthopedic problems, pain management, early retirement of guide dogs and urinary problems. A number of cancer studies, funded by the nonprofit’s Canine Cancer Campaign, will look at multiple aspects of canine cancer prevention and treatment.
