Clinical Studies at WVRC Waukesha

At Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center, we are excited to participate in clinical trials across a variety of veterinary disciplines. These trials play a vital role in advancing veterinary medicine, whether by developing innovative diagnostic tests to detect diseases early or creating new therapies to improve patient outcomes. Importantly, the insights gained from veterinary clinical trials may also contribute to understanding similar diseases in humans.

Clinical trials not only advance veterinary science but can also benefit both pets and their owners. In many cases, these trials offer access to cutting-edge diagnostics or treatments at significantly reduced or no cost. Throughout the process, patients enrolled in clinical trials receive the same high standard of care we provide to all our patients.
