Aims and scope
Companion Animal Health and Genetics is an open access journal focused on advancing the health and welfare of domesticated animals/pets by providing new clinical, genetic, and epidemiological insights.
Companion Animal Health and Genetics accepts articles on the health and welfare of all companion animals, such as cats, dogs, horses, rodents, rabbits, birds, exotic pets, and fish. It welcomes clinical research articles, case reports, commentary, letters to the Editor, reviews, short reports on but not limited to the areas of internal medicine, emergency medicine and critical care, cardiology, oncology, neurology, dermatology, ophthalmology, pathology, diagnostic imaging, and clinical genetics. Additionally, the journal welcomes research on genetic and epidemiological studies that contribute to a better understanding of risk factors for diseases, disease patterns and the impact of breeding on animal health. Due to their relevance and close genetic link, these studies may also include wild ancestors of companion animals.
