Participate in a study with your pet
Register your dog or cat in the HAI Research Program to be informed about research opportunities.
Registering does not automatically enroll you in a study and is not a commitment to participate.
Registering your dog or cat allows us to contact you when we have upcoming participation opportunities. We ask you to provide information about your pets up front so we can identify individuals that may be eligible for specific opportunities based on relevant traits such as breed, age, or training history.
When we think we have an exciting opportunity for you and your pets, we will contact you with details so you can decide if you wish to take part.
