I registered injured.dog in September 2022, long before I knew exactly what it would become.

What I did know was that dog owners were being asked to make serious health decisions for their pets without easy access to the safety data, regulatory records, and post-approval information behind those decisions.

For several years, the domain sat unused.

That changed in the fall of 2025, when a support group focused on Librela, a canine osteoarthritis injection, appeared in my feed. I joined and found thousands of dog owners asking similar questions. Many were trying to understand health changes they believed occurred after treatment. Others were trying to make sense of FDA records, product labeling, adverse event reports, and what they had been told before agreeing to treatment.

They needed clear information, not vague reassurance.

I began reviewing the FDA’s public adverse event data and taught myself Python so I could parse, organize, and visualize large volumes of raw government records. My goal was not to force a conclusion. It was to turn difficult-to-read public data into clear charts and summaries that dog owners, researchers, advocates, attorneys, and journalists could examine for themselves.

When I shared some of those early visualizations, they reached a legal advocate preparing a formal Citizen Petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. I was asked to contribute independent data analysis and visualizations to the filing, and I agreed.

That work brought injured.dog to life.

This site is still in its earliest stage, but its purpose is now clear: dog owners should not have to search through government databases, technical labels, scientific papers, or private support groups to find information relevant to informed consent.

injured.dog is being built as an independent resource for plain-English research summaries, regulatory explainers, adverse event data visualizations, and decision-focused information about canine drugs, vaccines, biologics, parasite products, food ingredients, and other veterinary health products.

I am not a veterinarian, and injured.dog does not provide medical advice. The goal is to help dog owners ask better questions, understand the available evidence, and make more informed decisions before saying yes to a treatment.
