Purina Research  

Nutrition and how it impacts a dog’s overall health and longevity has been a major focus of research at Purina for more than 75 years. Today, that focus has evolved to include how nutrition, genetics and training work together to create champion dogs.

As a member of Purina Pro Club, you will have access to a growing library of Purina resources. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find.

• Nutrition:
When Dana Coventry’s Pomer­anian, “Zsa Zsa,” lost her coat, her veterinarian, working with a veterinary dermatologist, diagnosed the young dog with Alopecia X. Alopecia means hair loss, and the X represents a “mystery skin disease” that affects Pomeranians and Miniature Poodles. The disease also affects larger Nordic breeds, such as Alaskan Mala­mutes and Chow Chows. See Alopecia X Researchers Study ‘Mystery Skin Disease’.

• Training
In the sport of coonhound nite hunts one award stands out as more demanding than any of the others. Akin to running a marathon, it is the Purina Award for the Outstanding Nite Hunt Coonhound. Likewise, the Purina Award for the Outstanding Bench Show Coonhound is a highly competitive yearlong competition. See Purina's Marathon Coonhound Awards.
• Breeder Tools
