Dog Aging Project

We are enrolling tens of thousands of dogs in a ten-year study to unlock the secrets of healthy #aging in #dogs. Join us!

[Dog Aging Project @DogAgingProject]

The Dog Aging Project is recruiting dogs to participate in the largest #canine health study ever conducted. This is an opportunity to be part of a research project that can dramatically extend what we know about #health and #aging in our dogs.

August 26 is National Dog Day! 🐾 Your dog can be more than your best friend. They can be your research partner.

The featured projects in our latest newsletter help scientists learn how dogs think and age right alongside us. Pick one or a few and start contributing:

@darwinsarkfnd: Answer surveys about your dog's behavior and, if you want, send in a DNA sample to add to one of the largest open databases on canine genetics and personality.

C-BARQ and Fe-BARQ: Take a quick survey about your dog's or cat's temperament to help researchers improve pet welfare and strengthen the human-animal bond.

@DogAgingProject: Fill out a health and lifestyle survey about you and your dog to join a nationwide study on how dogs age and how both of you can live longer, healthier lives.

Canine Brains: Share your pup's history in two short surveys to help researchers understand how life experiences shape canine personality.

Our Outdoors: Record how parks, beaches, and other public spaces make you feel, feeding a national database that rates and improves outdoor spaces. Great project for walking the dog!
