No previous large prospective cohort studies have been identified that have investigated the impact of the surgical neutering of bitches before or after known puberty on their growth and physical development. This study was designed to examine the da... Read More about A Prospective Cohort Study Investigating the Impact of Neutering Bitches Prepubertally or Post-Pubertally on Physical Development.

A Prospective Cohort Study Investigating the Behavioural Development of Bitches in a Guide Dog Training Programme Neutered Prepubertally or Post-Pubertally (2022)
Journal Article
Moxon, R., Freeman, S., Payne, R., Corr, S., & England, G. C. W. (2022).

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 9, Article 902775. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2022.902775

There are few studies that investigate the effect of neutering bitches before or after puberty. The majority of current literature examining the impact of the timing of neutering on health and behaviour has used age rather than the onset of puberty a...

Comparative pathology of dog and human prostate cancer (2021)
Journal Article
Ryman-Tubb, T., Lothion-Roy, J. H., Metzler, V. M., Harris, A. E., Robinson, B. D., Rizvanov, A. A., …de Brot, S. (2022). Comparative pathology of dog and human prostate cancer. Veterinary Medicine and Science, 8(1), 110-120. https://doi.org/10.1002/vms3.642

Though relatively rare in dogs, prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men. Human and canine prostate glands share many functional, anatomical and physiological features. Due to these similarities, canine PCa has been propos... Read More about Comparative pathology of dog and human prostate cancer.

Environmental chemicals in dog testes reflect their geographical source and may be associated with altered pathology (2021)
Journal Article
Sumner, R. N., Byers, A., Zhang, Z., Agerholm, J. S., Lindh, L., England, G. C. W., & Lea, R. G. (2021). Environmental chemicals in dog testes reflect their geographical source and may be associated with altered pathology. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 7361. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-86805-y

In humans and dogs, a temporal decline in semen quality and increased incidence of testicular cancer is hypothesised to be associated with exposure to anthropogenic chemicals, particularly during fetal development. Human studies suggest that differen... Read More about Environmental chemicals in dog testes reflect their geographical source and may be associated with altered pathology.
