• Misbehaving dogs die young

  

  New pioneering research conducted by the VetCompass™ Programme at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) reveals that dogs with undesirable behaviours, such as aggression, running away, fighting, over-excitability or barking, are more likely to die at a younger age. Undesirable behaviours may reflect poor training by owners or even undiagnosed medical conditions, for example dogs that urinate indoors may be suffering from unidentified bladder infections.
