Short online survey about dog welfare and kennel facilities

Mia Cobb is currently undertaking a PhD (with the Animal Welfare Science Centre in Melbourne) researching the effects of social and environmental enrichment on the welfare of dogs housed in kennel facilities. Part of this exciting research involves a short online survey, currently being distributed worldwide, to learn more about the attitudes and perceptions of people towards kennel facilities and dog welfare. The results from this anonymous survey will be used by scientists to report on information that is currently only available as anecdotal comments and may show differences in attitudes between general public andpeople who have experience with kennel facilities. The survey only takes around 10 minutes to complete and has been approved by the appropriate ethics committee at Monash University.
