TRANSFORM your knowledge
about DOGS with SCIENCE.
# DOGSANDSCIENCE
We make canine science ACCESSIBLE and UNDERSTANDABLE for everyone.
We love dogs. And we love science.
At Dogs and Science, we bring the two together—with one clear goal: to help you understand and care for dogs in the best way possible, using knowledge grounded in science.
Science gives us powerful insights into what dogs truly feel, need, and experience—and how we can support their wellbeing in ways that are kind, effective, and evidence-based. But much of this knowledge remains hidden in scientific papers—hard to find and even harder to apply in daily life.
We are canine scientists on a mission to change that.
We believe science becomes truly impactful when it is shared, understood, and put into practice—when real-life experience meets reliable evidence.
Whether you are a progressive dog professional or guardian, we are here to support your journey with cutting-edge knowledge and real-life relevance.
Join us at Dogs and Science—and transform your understanding of dogs through the power of science.

Canine Science explained
What is Canine Science?
Canine Science is the study of dogs and their wild relatives, such as wolves. This interdisciplinary field combines animal behaviour, cognition, genetics, veterinary medicine, and more. It explores all aspects of canine life, including
how dogs develop, think, and behave, aiming to deepen our empirical knowledge of dogs. Insights gained not only enhance our understanding but also informs practical approaches to health, welfare, and the human-dog bond.
Why Canine Science Matters to you?
Canine Science is more than just an academic field; it has profound implications for every dog professional and owner. It confronts widespread misinformation about dogs with robust, evidence-backed insights. This knowledge empowers you to enhance care, refine training techniques, and improve the overall quality of life for dogs. By grasping the scientific principles behind dog behaviour, you’re better equipped to effectively manage behavioural issues and create environments that promote health and happiness. Embrace canine science to bring a scientifically informed perspective to your interactions with dogs, ensuring they lead the best lives possible.
