Sharing this opportunity to participate in dog health research: "Dear members of the veterinary community in Nevada,
We, Janet and Divina, are students currently conducting a prevalence study on papillomatosis and canine cancers as part of our academic research. I am reaching out to kindly ask for your support.
We have developed a short survey for dog owners and are now looking distribute it as widely as possible across North America.
If you have (and we know many of you do) a dog you are most welcome to participate in the survey, but we would also really like you to consider printing out the attached poster and displaying it in your waiting or exam rooms to help with recruitment. You are also welcome to share the link/poster with your clients on your website or mailing list, as you see fit.
The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and participants can win one of twenty $70 USD Visa gift cards. We think this is a win-win for everyone.

Say no to unplanned litters of puppies
Say yes to our dogs living longer, healthier lives.
Not everyone has access (yet) to these updated forms of sterilization surgery, but I look forward to this becoming the standard of veterinary care.

Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.
