The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study

In this episode, we talk about the Morris Animal Foundation's Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. It's the largest observational veterinary study ever conducted. 3,000 dogs (including my two goldens!) will be followed their entire lives in order to learn about the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to canine cancer and other diseases. We speak with Dr. David Haworth, veterinarian and CEO of the Morris Animal Foundation, about this remarkable study.
