About

An honest reference, committed to real DVM review

MDR1Dog exists to do one thing well: tell owners of at-risk breeds which drugs matter, sourced from primary veterinary pharmacology research, in a calm register — then send them to their vet.

What we are

We're an independent information hub on the canine MDR1 (ABCB1) gene. We crosswalk breeds and drugs against the published classifications of the Washington State University Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory — the lab that discovered the mutation. We are not a veterinary clinic, we don't diagnose or prescribe, and we don't sell medicines. Every drug verdict ends with the same rule: talk to your vet.

Our veterinary reviewer

Independent DVM review in progress

Because this is health-critical content, we will only publish a reviewer when a real, licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine has agreed to review the drug data — with a verifiable US state license. We will never invent a reviewer or a fake “veterinary advisory board.” Until a real DVM is named here, treat the data as carefully sourced from primary references but not yet independently DVM-reviewed, and lean on your own veterinarian accordingly.

Our commitment to honesty

A fabricated drug-interaction claim could harm a dog, so we hold a hard line: if a claim can't be traced to a primary veterinary source, it doesn't appear here. Drugs we can't cite-pin are listed as omitted, not guessed. Read more in our methodology and sources.
