Help beat Hepatitis and DCM
The Dobermann, beloved for its intelligence and trainability, suffers from severe hereditary conditions, such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Dobermann Hepatitis. Both diseases are difficult to treat, and are responsible for the death of many dogs.
Doing a deed for the Dobermann in need!
The Expertisecentre of Genetics of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University is developing new methods to combat hereditary diseases in Dobermanns. That's why the research team is working on creating DNA tests that can help prevent these diseases in future generations. We aim to prevent Dobermanns being born with predispositions to these severe illnesses.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference in the health and future of the Dobermann. United, we can make a difference for the Dobermann!
