The restraint platform - refinement of long term restraining of dogs for experimental procedures (2003)

Mikkelsen, L. F., Bentsen, H., Gerlach, B.

Abstract

This short communication describes a new method for the long term restraining of dogs for experimental procedures like multiple blood sampling. The newly developed platform offers the dog a choice either to lie down, sit upright, or stand up, and facilitates an easy blood sampling procedure while ensuring a good and safe restraining of the dog.
