The Morris Animal Foundation is looking for 3,000 golden retrievers younger than 2 to participate in a study on how to prevent major diseases in dogs.
The study, the largest and longest observational effort of its kind, will last 10 to 14 years and will benefit all dogs, not just golden retrievers. It is focused on identifying risk factors for development of cancer and other diseases.
The Neighborhood Pet Clinic, 10015 N.E. Hazel Dell Ave., is part of the national project. To participate or get more information, call 360-546-5534 or visit http://www.CanineLifetimeHealth.org.
