Thanks for joining us!
We have started this blog to share our research findings with the wider dog owning, dog working, and dog competing community. Apologies for the lack of content at the moment, but we hope this will soon change!
For now, here are some of our recent research findings and publications in an openly accessible format, along with links to the published works (which are sadly mostly behind paywalls):
FINAL Heatstroke – providing evidence based advice to dog owners.
FINAL Establishing a reference range for normal canine TMT
FINAL Factors affecting canine temperature after canicross racing
