Has your dog been diagnosed with cancer?

Benign and malignant tumors are common in dogs and can cause changes in appetite. Our clinic is currently participating in a study to investigate a new food in dogs who have received a cancer diagnosis and that also have a normal or decreased appetite.

If your dog is selected for participation in the study, you will need to bring them to the clinic for 2 visits approximately 1 month apart. At home, you will feed your dog the test food each day and answer questions about your dog on a mobile application you download to your phone or tablet.

All costs for physical examinations and lab work related to the study are covered. You may also be eligible for additional compensation for your time to complete the required tasks for the study.

Please talk to your veterinarian if you would like to learn more about this opportunity!
