Clinical Trials

In addition to staying on top of the latest advances in veterinary medicine—our hospitals work together to develop them. Our doctors collaborate on clinical trials, always pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in protecting the health and quality of life of the animals we all love.

Our network of hospitals appeals to sponsors seeking the benefits of multi-location opportunities. Smooth rollout of clinical trials and reliable communication throughout their implementation come naturally in our culture of teamwork.
