Drug testing: research with dogs
Dogs are used in small numbers in medical research in the UK, usually as a second mammal in safety testing. UK law requires that potential new medicines are tested on two mammal species, typically a rodent and dog or pig. These dogs were filmed in a research facility in the UK in 2014.
