Advancing Canine Health through Peer-Reviewed Publications

Scientific peer-reviewed publications are a cornerstone of advancing canine health. At the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF), research investment success is measured, in part, by the quality and impact of the peer-reviewed studies they produce.

These publications not only validate the rigor and credibility of the research supported by the CHF but also contribute to the global body of scientific knowledge, driving innovation and improving the lives of all dogs.
