Protecting Dogs Subjected to Experiments Act

H.R. 574, the Protecting Dogs Subjected to Experiments Act, would prohibit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from providing any federal funding for biological, medical, or behavioral research that involves testing on dogs. If passed, this legislation would effectively end taxpayer-supported canine experimentation conducted or funded by the agency. The bill aims to shift federal research priorities away from dog-based laboratory models toward alternative testing methods.
