As humans we know we should eat more fresh and less ultra-processed food. Research has demonstrated the link of processed foods to most health issues ranging from allergies and gastrointestinal problems through to neurological disorders, cancers, and many more. Why, even when speaking to vets and breeders, are we not informed to avoid ultra-processed food for our pets? Well, with your help, we can together we can make a difference!

Your donation – big or small – can help us to further our research findings for the benefit of dogs around the world. It is imperative that a group like ours can work independently, so that we are free to publish all results regardless of other interests.

At DogRisk we are an independent research group at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and are world leaders on questions relating to pet nutrition. Our diverse group of experts, which includes veterinarians, animal nutritionists, biologists, chemists, geneticists, etc., can see all aspects of your pet’s nutrition and how it relates to disease and health issues.

Our research group uses a variety of research methods and projects to push the boundaries of our global understanding of dog diet and disease ranging from questionnaires to clinical diet intervention studies and genetics.

All our funding comes from individuals and small independent companies. Please consider donating to our research and help us to spread this message to your friends and throughout social media. Together we can improve the life and health span of all dogs. With your help, we can do this! ❤️

DogRisk - preventing chronic diseases in dogs

Ranked in the top 1% of the world's universities. Conducting pioneering research and sharing knowledge since 1640 - For the World.

ROOTED IN FINLAND: MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE WORLD

Since our founding in 1640, the University of Helsinki has inspired Finland to build a fair and equal society that ranks amongst the best internationally in terms of the environment, education, healthcare, and – of course – happiness.

During the years, our academic community has grown into 40 000 people scattered into [11 faculties](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculties-and-units) on four campuses. Now, our [research](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/research/top-research) and [education](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/apply-bachelors-and-masters-programmes/what-can-you-study-us) set global benchmarks, and we believe that the search for new knowledge and boundary-breaking research can lead to solutions that have a real, global impact on the future.

Our strategic plan currently emphasises four [research themes](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/research/strategic-research): wellbeing for humans and our environment, a humane and fair world, a sustainable future for our planet, and the possibilities that limitless curiosity opens up – a universe of ideas and opportunities.

We know that by joining forces with others we can have an impact much bigger than the sum of our parts – and make brilliant things happen - for the world.
