      Canine Organizations: Stand Shoulder-to-Shoulder with other key stakeholders in the global dog community


      The dog world is in need of a global organization to harmonize health improvement strategies for canines worldwide, and breeders, veterinarians, owners, and others would benefit immensely from greater access to breed-specific data and scientific literature.


      IPFD is uniquely positioned to meet this need. Our supporting partners include national kennel clubs, academic institutions, veterinary organizations, and other key stakeholders from around the world under the following categories:

      Contributing Partners: Founding, Initiating and other Partners contributing financially to IPFD
      Collaborating Partners: Organizations or individuals providing funds and in-kind support to specific IPFD initiatives
      Sponsors: Organizations or individuals providing funds and in-kind support to specific IPFD initiatives (e.g., Harmonization of Genetic Testing for Dogs, IPFD Virtual Meetings/International Dog Health Workshops)

       

      If your organization would like to discuss opportunities for formally supporting IPFD and our important work, please contact us here or at info@ipfdogs.com
