Get Involved - Join the fight against arthritis

…. a Donor

Whether you are a dog lover, a champion for human health, or both—your contribution reaches them all. Osteoarthritis is a "mirror disease" that affects both species with the same patterns of pain and stiffness. Because our research has direct translational relevance, your donation makes a massive impact on both veterinary and human medicine. You are funding the infrastructure that ensures a breakthrough for a dog today becomes a roadmap for a human cure tomorrow.

…. a Researcher

Joining the KANDO network gives you access to a standardized, multi-center framework designed for rapid enrollment and robust, reproducible data. Whether you are in academia or private practice, KANDO provides the SOPs and the collaborative network needed to turn clinical observations into global standards of care. Together, we can achieve the statistical power necessary to defeat osteoarthritis.

For Researchers: Scale Your Impact

For Dog Owners: Research You Can Trust

….. a Dog Owner

Your dog’s safety and well-being are our absolute priorities. Every study within the KANDO network must pass a rigorous ethical review and receive a supermajority approval (75% or higher) from our Scientific Advisory Board. This ensures that your dog is only participating in research that is scientifically sound and deeply purposeful. By joining us, you aren't just a participant; you are a partner in an ethical mission to restore mobility for dogs everywhere.
