The Royal Canin Foundation has set three focus areas: the health and welfare of working dogs; pets in support of medical health; and pets in support of human mental health.  The projects identified for funding will be selected on an annual basis. In 2021, close to 1 million USD will be put towards more than 10 projects from different parts of the world, including COVID-19 and cancer detection, raising healthy and happy assistance dogs, using dogs in training communication skills for children with autism, and developing certification for the trainers of medical detection dogs.
