Participants in the Brain Health Study will participate in all Precision Cohort activities such as Sample Kit collection visits and annual surveys and activities. The primary difference is that at the end of the dog’s natural life our team of veterinary specialists will conduct a postmortem exam and collect important biological samples in order to closely examine the brain changes that may occur in senior dogs.
Participants expressing interest in the Brain Health Study will be connected with a Veterinary Care Coordinator—a highly-trained, veterinary professional with experience in end-of-life care, that can guide participants and answer any questions through the entire process. Like the rest of our Dog Aging Project Pack, all dogs enrolled in this study live and play at home with their families.
