November 2022

​

More Good Doggos Please!​ Our research is carefully designed to study the widest possible range of dogs and dog experiences. This is why we work hard to make sure that we have dogs in the Pack from every part of the US as well as a wide range of ages, breeds, and sizes. Gaps in data can lead to gaps in discovery, and at the Dog Aging Project, we strive toward excellence in all things—especially science! We need more young dogs, up to age 3​ ​ We need older dogs, age 7+​ ​ We need more dogs from key regions​ ​ Alabama | Georgia | Iowa | Kentucky | Mississippi | New Jersey​ New York | Pennsylvania | Tennessee | Texas | Washington​ Can You Help Us Share the Love?​ ➔ Forward this email to friends and family. ➔ Print this flyer and share around town at places like dog parks, groomers, and puppy classes. ➔ Post about the Dog Aging Project on your social media with a link to dogagingproject.org. ➔ Share our posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
