ABOUT OUR REsearch projects
You can help us create A Good Life for companion animals by participating in research. The projects listed below will either be our own, or a collaboration with a reputable research organisation. Below, we clearly outline how your participation will be of benefit, who should participate and what level of commitment will be required.
This is a safe place. Each project will clearly state how your data will be used. You can opt out at any time and request your data is deleted at any time.
If you have thoughts about animals, we would love to hear from you. So get involved!
Why?
You can support Companion Animals NZ by participating in research questionnaires on a variety of subjects. For every research survey you complete, Companion Animals NZ receives a research credit to go towards the study of animal welfare.
