Canine Sports Medicine: Performance from Nose to Tail
This special issue belongs to the section “Veterinary Clinical Studies“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Canine sports medicine is a comprehensive approach to performance and mobility in dogs and involves a spectrum from prevention to diagnosis and treatment of conditions that impact canine function, ability, and welfare. In addition to benefits for professional working dogs and canine athletes, canine sports medicine applies to companion dogs. We welcome original research, clinical reports, case studies, reviews, and commentary focusing on areas that advance knowledge and expand the field of canine sports medicine including musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, special senses, and other medical and behavioral factors.
