Calling all mini pig parents!

The popularity of pet pigs is on the rise, and we want to be sure these porky pals are living their best lives. However, there are currently no objective survey tools to measure quality of life (QOL) in pet mini pigs. Our new study seeks to create a standard QOL instrument that can be used for companion mini pigs. For this study, we’re recruiting healthy pet mini pigs aged 1 year or older. The study involves a single wellness visit, during which the owner will complete survey questions about their pig’s quality of life. Participants will receive a $100 discount off the cost of their appointment. The cost of any additional non-study treatments or diagnostic procedures undertaken for your pig during the visit are not covered by the study. To schedule your pet piggie patient, call 540-231-1363 or email: mindyq@vt.edu.
