Participate in Research on Chronic Kidney Disease

AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) funded investigators at the University of Florida are looking for dogs to participate in a research study on chronic kidney disease (CKD). Investigators will explore if urinary ammonia excretion correlates with kidney function and whether it is associated with the development of long-term clinical outcomes in dogs with CKD.

While owners do not have to live in the state of Florida to participate, they must be willing to bring their pet to the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital every 3 months after study enrollment for blood draw and urine collection for the duration of the study (12 months, 4 study visits total). Each dog enrolled in this study must eat the study diet for the duration of the study (Purina NF, dry). No additional treatments will be provided as part of the study.
