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.

Spectrum of Care Clinical Research Program
The Foundation is funding 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 lower-cost, high-quality treatment options available to dog owners. Applications from veterinarians and clinical faculty as well as ideas for research from the dog-loving public are welcome.
