Dr. Stephen Cai and Dr. Rebecka Hess of the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School are conducting a research study on diabetes in dogs, and they are asking all dog owners to complete a short survey, regardless of whether any of their dogs has diabetes.
The survey takes only five minutes to complete.
Click here to learn more about the survey, along with the link to participate.
Every dog is valuable to this study, and your assistance would be immensely appreciated.
