Canine Health

The Foundation’s mission in canine health is to ensure that dogs who belong to families of modest economic means enjoy the best possible health throughout their lives. It supports clinical research on preventive care and alternatives to “gold standard” veterinary medicine with wider experiential learning in veterinary training.

Programs

  • Spectrum of Care Clinical Research Program

    In partnership with the AVMF, the Stanton Foundation is pleased to continue funding of clinical research to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic protocols that increase primary care veterinarians' ability to practice more broadly along a spectrum of care. The goal is to expand the evidence base for lower-cost, high-quality diagnostic and treatment options available for dogs.

    Pre-proposals are invited from October 1- December 1, 2025. Grant program information and application instructions can be found on the AVMF website, linked here.
