Saving Lives for Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study


4 Comments

It is unfortunate to know that Golden Retrievers have a high probability of cancer; about 60 percent – one of the highest in the dog world. We are thankful for Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study that started in 2012. This $32 million study gathers information on more than 3,000 golden retrievers throughout their lives to identify the nutritional, environmental, lifestyle and genetic risk factors for cancer and other diseases in dogs.

Golden Retriever Lifetime Study 8th year

In honor of National Dog Day, for the 3rd year in a row, an anonymous Morris Animal Foundation donor who lost her beloved golden retriever, Cody, to cancer, is generously matching all donations made to support the study dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, from August 1 through August 26.

You are saving lives when you DONATE!
