Stand with us to end research and tests on dogs

Dogs being used in experiments is more common than most people would think. On average, over 58,000 dogs per year are used for research and testing in the United States, with an additional 20,000+ being held in breeding facilities. What’s worse, 660 dogs a year (on average over the past decade) are subject to experiments involving unrelieved pain and distress.

This is not a small problem. Experiments using dogs are happening in 46 states. The federal government plays a role by funding, requiring and/or carrying out these experiments. For instance, between 2015 and 2019, the National Institutes of Health awarded over $202 million in taxpayer money to 200 laboratories for experiments using dogs. We need your help to end this.

Please stand with us and call on state and federal governments to end research and testing on dogs and invest in science that doesn’t cause animal suffering.

I support ending research and testing on dogs. There are serious ethical and scientific issues associated with the use of our companions as experimental models. We must proactively, and fully, replace dogs with non-animal technologies.

Significant progress has been made in the development of these non-animal technologies, which provide results that are faster, more accurate and relevant to humans. These 21st-century technologies will only continue to evolve and improve, moving us closer to the elimination of dogs and other animals as experimental models for biomedical research and testing.

No dog deserves to suffer in a cold laboratory, especially when many non-animal alternatives already exist to replace them.
