\nThe Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study has a Mission:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cOur Mission is to bridge science and resources to advance the health of animals. Morris Animal Foundation improves and protects the health of animals through scientific innovation, education and inspiration.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Founded by a veterinarian in 1948, we continue to be a science-driven organization, funding critical health studies for the benefit of all animals. 20,000 + species benefit from our research.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diseases often aren\u2019t species specific. When we help one animal, the new knowledge gained can have a ripple effect to help related species or entire ecosystems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is one of the largest, most comprehensive prospective canine health studies in the United States. The Study\u2019s purpose is to identify the nutritional, environmental, lifestyle and genetic risk factors for cancer and other diseases in dogs. Each year, with the help of veterinarians and dog owners, the Foundation collects health, environmental and behavioral data on 3,000 + golden retrievers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFindings will be used as a launching point for multiple health studies in dogs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hudson Valley Golden Retriever Club is very proud to be a part of this important and worthwhile study. As part of the study, our participants must fill out a lengthy annual questionnaire with questions covering every aspect of our dogs\u2019 lives from the food they eat and the environment they live in to their emotional and physical wellbeing. The questionnaire is completed prior to the dog\u2019s annual physical by the participant\u2019s veterinarian who is registered with the study. Prior to the vet visit, owners receive a test kit in the mail which contains numerous vials. This test kit is brought to the visit for the veterinarian to use to collect blood, urine, feces, hair and nail samples from the dog.\u00a0 Lab results are forwarded to each participant and their vet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
