Plain-English summary
Recent advances in understanding dog genetics could lead to better ways to prevent health issues in pets. Researchers believe that as we learn more about the genetic makeup of dogs, we can improve veterinary care by focusing on prevention rather than just treatment. However, they emphasize that collaboration among various groups of people will be essential to make this progress happen.
Abstract
Knowledge of canine genetics has advanced rapidly in recent years. Researchers say even deeper understanding is ahead, and that it could support a shift to more preventative veterinary care. But the involvement of a wide group of people will be vital in progressing towards that future.
