DOGEVERA RESEARCH

Canine health evidence, structured for closer examination.

Dogevera Research organizes published canine health studies into focused evidence projects. We examine study design, populations, interventions, dosing, outcomes, limitations, funding and other details that are often difficult to compare across individual papers.

These resources are designed to make published evidence easier to inspect — not to replace veterinary advice or peer-reviewed research.

    Canine Green-Lipped Mussel Trials: Formulation, Dose, Duration and Washout

    A study-level dataset of published canine green-lipped mussel trials: 21 study records from 18 publications, including trials not indexed in Europe PMC. It records formulation, dose as reported and normalised to body weight (with calculations shown), treatment duration, pre-enrolment and between-period washout, comparators, funding, and overlap of dogs between publications. It does not pool or rate efficacy. Every record was checked against its source; study authors are invited to check their trials, and their replies will be added in later versions.

    HMB in Dogs: Canine Studies and Commercial Claims

    Two linked datasets from a preregistered evidence map. The first lists the 11 records from 9 publications or patents in which dogs were given oral HMB (β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate), with population, design, dose, duration, outcomes and funding. The second records 32 claims about HMB in dogs from 19 commercial pages, word for word, with the source each claim cites, whether that source exists, and whether its population matches the dogs the claim is about.

    If no dog study stands behind a product, that does not mean the product does not work. Dogevera sells an HMB supplement for dogs; its own product page was audited first, under the same rules as every other page.

    • Author check: the record of the 2023 IAVRPT abstract on HMB after orthopaedic surgery was checked by the study's author, Dr Morito Ogasawara (Animal Rehabilitation Medicine Laboratory). This is a check of that one record, not an endorsement of Dogevera or its products.

How Dogevera Research works

  1. Focused questions

    We start with narrow questions that can be answered by examining published evidence, rather than trying to summarize an entire field at once.

  2. Study-level extraction

    Where relevant, we extract details such as population, sample size, intervention, dose, duration, comparator, outcome measures, funding and limitations.

  3. Transparent limitations

    We distinguish direct canine evidence from evidence in humans, other species or laboratory models, and clearly identify uncertainty where the evidence is limited.
