Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have affected the welfare and health of dogs due to surges in adoptions and purchases, changes in the physical and mental health and financial status of dog owners, changes in dogs’ lifestyle and routines and limited access to veterinary care. The aims of this study were to investigate whether COVID-19...
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have affected the welfare and health of dogs, due to surges in adoptions and purchases, changes in the physical and mental health and financial status of dog owners, changes in dogs’ lifestyle and routines and limited access to veterinary care. Research is needed to be able to assess the extent of these...
The Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds worldwide, therefore it is important to have reliable evidence on the general health issues of the breed. Using anonymised veterinary clinical data from the VetCompass Programme, this study aimed to explore the relative risk to common disorders in the Labrador Retriever. The clinical reco...
Background:
In early 2020, the Small Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network reported evidence of an outbreak of acute prolific vomiting in dogs in the UK. The aims of this study were to investigate whether there was evidence for a vomiting outbreak in Dogslife and Google Trends data and to describe its characteristics.
Methods:
Incidence of Dogs...
All data are prone to error and require data cleaning prior to analysis. An important example is longitudinal growth data, for which there are no universally agreed standard methods for identifying and removing implausible values and many existing methods have limitations that restrict their usage across different domains. A decision-making algorit...

... Given that humans and dogs are both social creatures, these findings have implications for the welfare of human-dog relationships during the COVID-19 epidemic. The One Welfare approach indicates a bidirectional link for the health and welfare of both humans and dogs [109,[126][127][128]. As the climate continues to change, we will likely experience more disasters, including pandemics, emphasizing the need for more research on the human-animal relationships resulting from crises [129,130]. ...

... Further, there is limited published information on breeds with reduced risk of hypothyroidism (i.e. protected to the condition) [13] although one study reported that German Shepherd Dogs and crossbreeds were underrepresented for hypothyroidism [8]. Major histocompatibility complex DLA class II genotypes are reported to associate with hypothyroidism in certain breeds [14,15] and genome wide association and whole genome sequencing studies are starting to explore additional risk loci in canine hypothyroidism [16,17]. ...

... During a recent vomiting outbreak in dogs in the UK, the vomiting incidence rates reported by Dogslife, an owner-based longitudinal cohort study, were over double the equivalent vomiting consultation rates reported by SAVSNET [60,61]. This can be explained by Dogslife reports showing that only one third of vomiting episodes led to a veterinary consultation [62]. Unfortunately, surveillance systems that rely on primary care data are particularly likely to be affected by bias during lockdown restrictions, due to vast decreases in the number of owners taking their pets to the veterinarian [63]. ...
... Cleaning data entails identifying and removing entries from a dataset that are corrupt, incorrect, duplicated, incomplete, or improperly formatted (see Figure 4). Data cleaning is required to analyze information from multiple sources [45][46][47]. Various related tools and python libraries are discussed in the following sections. ...
