Obesity threat: New studies underway may help dogs shed the pounds and gain a healthier life B Y: C A R O L B O R C H E R T

The woes and weight loss tales of morbidly obese dogs are regular fodder for viral internet stories. “Fat Vincent,” a 7-year-old dachshund, ate a steady diet of burgers and pizza. He was re-homed and lost a whopping 44 pounds, slimming down from 56 to 12 pounds, with the help and patience of his new owner. Stories like this of dramatic weight loss are inspiring, but they are the exception. For American dogs, 54 percent of which are estimated to be overweight, extra pounds doesn’t mean internet fame. It means a life filled with often-times avoidable medical issues, including musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and increased cancer risk. Extra pounds also weaken the immune system, increase the risks of anesthesia, and can increase heat sensitivity. With all these risks, why are so many dogs overweight? It’s hard not to point a finger at ourselves, because we control the food bowl and outdoor play time. Certain medical conditions can increase the risk of weight gain, certain breeds are more prone to being overweight, and the bacteria that live in our dog’s intestines also may play a role in obesity. However, studies show weight gain in dogs is attributed to the same factors that lead to weight gain in people – too much food (particularly of the wrong kind) and too little movement. Morris Animal Foundation is sponsoring a number of studies to better define the risk factors for weight gain in

dogs, and develop innovative approaches to help our canine companions trim down. One Foundation-funded study, conducted at Colorado State University, evaluated the effect of a specially prepared bean-based diet on gut hormones, chemical metabolic profiles, and inflammation in dogs. The CSU team, led by training-grant recipient Dr. Genevieve Forster, wanted to see if the same benefits seen in people consuming beanbased diets held true for dogs. The team found both healthy weight and obese dogs receiving the bean-based diets had positive changes in their lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Additional study results suggest bean intake by dogs promotes healthy metabolism and may help reduce inflammation associated with chronic diseases. Although more research is needed, bean-based diets might eventually make their way to the pet food aisle in your grocery store. There is plenty you can do to help your dog get to or stay at a healthy weight. Your veterinarian can determine your dog’s ideal weight and guide you toward a weight-loss goal. One easy step you can take today? Build in extra activity time in your dog’s day-to-day life that will get him off the couch and keep him from becoming a fat-dog internet sensation! ✢

Hope for cats with deadly viral disease Feline infectious peritonitis is a fatal viral disease in cats that currently has no cure. In 2015, Morris Animal Foundation launched a bold initiative to discover a viable treatment for FIP. Researchers at Kansas State University, University of California, Davis, and Wichita State University recently reported promising results with a novel therapy for this deadly virus. The team currently is conducting a clinical trial further investigating this novel antiviral drug in client-owned cats with FIP. Findings will help not only pet cats but may extend to wild cat species also affected by this disease.

Of veterinary patients receiving blood products, 10 percent experience devastating blood transfusion reactions. One contributing factor is bioactive substances generated by white blood cells which build up in stored blood. Researchers from Mississippi State University used specialized filters to successfully decrease levels of these substances in canine blood samples. The next research step is to administer stored blood products, processed using this new protocol, to dogs in need of a blood transfusion. Results will help improve canine blood bank protocols to minimize frequency and severity of transfusion reactions in dogs.

Improving diagnosis of Cushing’s disease About one-third of older horses develop Cushing’s disease, also known as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. The disease occurs when part of the pituitary gland no longer functions normally, resulting in hormonal imbalances. Clinical signs vary and may include abnormal hair coat, lethargy, muscle wasting, changes in metabolism, abnormal fat deposits, and increased susceptibility to infections. Researchers from the University of Kentucky evaluated a new PPID diagnostic test. The team found season and month of year significantly affect test results. They then established seasonal reference ranges for the new test. This additional data is extremely valuable for equine veterinarians and veterinary reference laboratories to help accurately interpret test results, allowing for earlier and more accurate PPID diagnosis.

Emerging TB strain threatens banded mongoose

Foundation welcomes new President and CEO

A newly emerging strain of tuberculosis is killing banded mongoose in northern Botswana. Researchers from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University found the new TB pathogen is not transmitted through traditional aerosol routes. Instead, the mongoose transmit TB through scent markings, a type of territorial advertising. This communication behavior allows the pathogen to be transmitted outside the troop or social family via infected secretions to mongoose with nose and skin injuries. Identification of this novel disease transmission method is critical for developing management plans to help minimize TB spread in banded mongoose and other species in the region.

Dr. John Reddington has shared his life with many companion animals, and long been an advocate for animal health, welfare and wellness. He first learned about Morris Animal Foundation when he was in veterinary school, and watched the Foundation’s progress over the years as it advanced animal health. Now, Dr. Reddington has moved from being an advocate for animals to embracing the role as new President and CEO of the Foundation he has so long admired – a role, he said, that will let him give back. “I have been impressed by Morris Animal Foundation and its mission since first coming to know about it in veterinary school, and have followed its progress and superb reputation over the years,” said Dr. Reddington. “As a long-time pet owner and licensed veterinarian, I have always had a passion to help animals. I’m looking forward to doing everything I can to continue the Foundation’s legacy of improving the lives of animals around the world.” A veterinarian and researcher by training, Dr. Reddington has nearly 30 years experience in the animal and human health industries. “Dr. Reddington brings to Morris Animal Foundation a wealth of experience across a broad range of animal-health related enterprises,” said Walt George, Chair of the Morris Animal Foundation Board of Trustees. “His entrepreneurial history and strong leadership skills, combined with his veterinary background and research training, make him uniquely qualified to lead the Foundation. His passion for animals and desire to make a difference in their lives brought him to the Foundation, and we are excited to welcome him on board. ” Most recently, Dr. Reddington was working as a consultant for the biopharma industry, prior to which he was Chief Operating Officer for Cambridge Biomedical Inc., a privately held contract research organization. Dr. Reddington

has served as President and CEO of Sirtex Medical Inc., a U.S. division of the Australian company Sirtex Medical Group Ltd. Prior to joining Sirtex, he was Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Research and Development for Valentis Inc., where he played a key role in transitioning Valentis’ clinical focus in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Reddington received his DVM and PhD in immunology from Washington State University. He started his first company, DiagXotics Inc., in 1990. The Company specialized in commercializing vaccines and diagnostics for exotic and zoonotic animal diseases, validating them for clinical use, and licensing technologies from leading veterinary schools and research institutes.

First study veterinarian honored to be part of historic study When one of his clients approached Dr. Frank Capella about participating in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, little did Dr. Capella know he would make study history as the first veterinarian to complete enrollment. “Ranger’s owner is a very proactive client,” said Dr. Capella, who practices at Village Veterinary Hospital in Canastota, New York. “I just came along for the ride!” Dr. Capella now has three patients enrolled in the study; in addition to Ranger, Hero Dog #1, he cares for Murphy Kreheal, Hero Dog #1351; and Popcorn McCloskey, Hero Dog #2587. With three patients in the study, Dr. Capella has had lots of practice filling out the necessary forms. His sage advice for other study veterinarians? “The one thing I’ve learned is to stay on top of the paperwork!” said Dr. Capella. “I try to get everything done the same day.” Dr. Capella was surprised at the level of detail and the “sheer scope” of the data. “This study, and what Morris Animal Foundation is doing in general, is of tremendous importance to the future of veterinary medicine,” said Dr. Capella. “I feel very, very honored to be part of the study. Whether I’m the first or the 3,000th veterinarian, it is a deep honor to be part of this historic research.” ✢

Study celebrates fourth year! It’s hard to believe, but the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is celebrating its fourth anniversary! This past year was an active one, starting with the 3000 Strong celebration in Denver on Sept. 19, 2015. More than 200 dogs, supporters, staff members and friends joined together for a weekend of fun and camaraderie. The year also found the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study team crisscrossing the country, visiting the customer care team in West Virginia, attending veterinary conferences in Las Vegas, Orlando and Austin, and providing support to both study veterinarians and participants. One of the highlights of their travels was attending the Golden Retriever Club of America’s National Specialty in October and watching the Parade of Hero Dogs honoring study participants and their owners. Grassroots efforts by the study volunteers and supporters across the country raised not only donations but encouraged a spirit of friendship and raised awareness. Dewey’s Golden Jubilee in Delaware and the Second Annual New England Golden Jubilee in Vermont were just two among many organized fundraising events held to benefit the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. The volunteer leadership team spearheaded a successful T-shirt and hoodie sale, and the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study team raised $15,756 in this year’s Unite to Fight Pet Cancer Virtual Walk, making them the top fundraising team. As the study enters its fifth year, Morris Animal Foundation thanks our study team, volunteers, participants, veterinarians, call center, and supporters for their tireless efforts. We couldn’t do it without you! ✢

Epidemiologist finds possible link between age at neuter and obesity Dr. Missy Simpson recently presented her findings at the American Veterinary Internal Medicine Forum on the link between early neutering/spaying and obesity in Golden Retriever Lifetime Study participants. Dr. Simpson found that in this cohort of dogs, older age at spay-neuter is protective against being overweight. Not surprisingly, more active dogs were less likely to be overweight. There were no regional differences in the number of dogs that were overweight or obese.

The question of the optimum age for neutering or spaying dogs continues to perplex veterinarians and owners given the huge variety of dog breeds. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is a great opportunity to look at this question in more detail in one specific breed. The results could clarify recommendations not only for golden retrievers but provide insights for other dog breeds. ✢

Kim, Jeff and Joel Bradley are members of a very special group of people—Morris Animal Foundation’s Circle of Discovery. As long-time donors, the Bradleys are helping change the landscape for dogs diagnosed with cancer. It all started with a golden retriever named Bogey. Bogey was the quintessential golden retriever: cheerful personality, handsome and loyal. The Bradley family loved Bogey, and he loved them in return. He was an integral member of the family. When Bogey was 8 years old, he was diagnosed with a nerve sheath tumor on his left front leg. Thanks to a skillful surgeon, much of the tumor was removed and Bogey’s disease stabilized. The Bradleys thought they had dodged a bullet and breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, their relief was short-lived. At the age of 10, Bogey developed an aggressive form of lymphoma. After a valiant fight, the family said goodbye to Bogey a mere four weeks after his diagnosis. The family felt they needed to do something more to honor Bogey’s memory. “I believe that you need to get out there and do something,” said Kim. “Get up and volunteer!” One way the Bradleys give back is through donating to Morris Animal Foundation. The Bradley family first heard about the Foundation through our partnership with Orvis. After Bogey was diagnosed with cancer, the Bradleys became even more involved, through both study sponsorship and Circle of Discovery membership.

morrisanimalfoundation.org

“It was a collective decision,” said Kim. “We were impressed by what the Foundation was doing to find a cure for these cancers. We chose Morris Animal Foundation based on its honesty, integrity and communication.” The Circle of Discovery is the Foundation’s leadership giving society that recognizes donors who give $3,000 or more in a 12-month period to support our critical work to advance animal health. As a part of the Circle of Discovery, donors receive special acknowledgment of their leadership role and opportunities to connect with fellow Discoverers. It also includes access to executive updates, impact reports and updates, and invitations to exclusive events. The Bradleys found that the Circle of Discovery is one way they can give back in Bogey’s memory. They are especially excited by many of the new and innovative treatments currently under development for canine lymphoma. Their hope is that their new dog Gracie, and all other dogs, will have a brighter, cancer-free future thanks to research underway today – and thanks to donors like the Bradleys. ✢

Funds raised from the walks go toward prevention and treatment research to help dogs enjoy longer, healthier, cancer-free lives. Participating in a walk is a great way to memorialize a beloved dog lost to cancer or create a brighter future for your canine companion today. The Foundation hosts eight walks across the country annually and the program is growing rapidly. Participants bring their best friends (human and canine), for a walk in the park that will make a difference in the lives of dogs everywhere. In addition to the walk, participants enjoy vendor booths featuring dog services, goods and goodies! Registration and funds raised help in the fight against canine cancer. One loyal walk participant recently said “We walk because we must do everything we can so that no other family must endure the pain of losing their best friend, of watching the light in their eyes slowly dim and finally burn out. We walk because we love animals and never want one to be in pain or suffering from cancer and disease. We hate cancer. We walk to stamp it out.” ✢
