Animals: Retrospective case-control study of dogs with (n = 71) and without (136) SARDS.

Methods: Parasiticide use, presentation season, weight, body condition, and signalment were compared between dogs diagnosed with SARDS and the reference population by use of descriptive statistics and logistic regression.
