The
popularity of pet pigs is on the rise, and we want to be sure these
porky pals are living their best lives. However, there are currently no
objective survey tools to measure quality of life (QOL) in pet mini
pigs. Our new study seeks to create a standard QOL instrument that can
be used for companion mini pigs.
For this study, we’re
recruiting healthy pet mini pigs aged 1 year or older. The study
involves a single wellness visit, during which the owner will complete
survey questions about their pig’s quality of life. Participants will
receive a $100 discount off the cost of their appointment. The cost of
any additional non-study treatments or diagnostic procedures undertaken
for your pig during the visit are not covered by the study.
