Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2025 Canine Welfare Science Forum planned for June 6-7 has been cancelled. Please check here for updates as we will post notices if we are able to reschedule it for later in the year or offer an alternate event in its place. We will also email those on our contact list with updates and can add others who might be interested.
The Education and Outreach team of the Croney Research Group has spent the past year developing a new Canine Welfare Science website with funding from The Life of Riley at Spring Point. The site aims to promote the welfare of dogs by providing carefully curated, science-based information from a variety of sources that are easily accessible and relevant to commercial dog breeders, shelters, pet families, and other individuals and organizations that care about dogs.Our goal is to bridge knowledge gaps within the canine caretaker community and to connect communities of caretakers with the shared goal of supporting the welfare of dogs living in breeding, research, teaching, and sheltering kennels as well as in homes. The website continues to grow during the development process, but there are many, many resources you can access now. Visit the site at https://caninewelfarescience.com
The annual program addresses canine welfare topics of relevance to dog breeders, shelters, kennel managers and caretakers, scientists, regulators, students, and pet industry personnel. Click on the year to see archived information from each conference.
Canine Care Certified is a nationwide, voluntary program that addresses the health and overall welfare of dogs in the care of breeders in the United States.
