Belgian Shepherd gastrointestinal research - signs of gastric disease

The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify signs of gastrointestinal disease, for a study concerning gastric cancer in Belgian Shepherds (Tervuren, Groenendael, Laekenois, Malinois).


You can participate in the study if your dog has presented, either chronically or occasionally, signs or symptoms of disease of the digestive tract.

Some of the respondents to the survey, especially those with dogs over 8 years of age, may be invited to visit the Teaching Hospital for further examination, free of charge. In such cases, the owner will be contacted by telephone for arrangements.

We hope that you participate in the study by filling out the questionnaire.

Thank you very much in advance for your participation.
