Research Opportunity!

We’re recruiting dog-guardians providing care for a human and/or dog who live in Ontario for new research on peoples’ experiences of care in multispecies (dog-human) households. Please help us get the word out by passing this infographic on to family caregivers and dog owners in your networks. Thanks for your help! 

An infographic for the FIDO study, which reads "we're conducting research on family caregiving. Participation involves having a researcher join you and your dog for an interview in a location of your choice. You may be eligible if you are: 18 years of age or older; a primary caregiver or co-caregiver for at least one dog; spend time with your dog in or within 15 minutes of Toronto, Guelph, London, Cambridge, or Woodstock.
