For Referring Veterinarians

A nursing uses a stethoscope to check a labrador retriever while another woman hold's the lab's head in place and talks to the nurse.

Veterinarians may refer dogs with suspected brain tumors for advanced care and clinical trials. Learn when to refer, how to start, and what to expect.

When to refer

General practitioners

If you are a general practitioner treating an adult dog with new-onset seizures or behavioral changes, your patient may be suffering from a brain tumor. We recommend offering a referral to a veterinary neurologist for MRI confirmation. Your patient may qualify for enrollment in one of our clinical trials.

Specialists

If you have presumptively diagnosed a patient with a glioma, your patient may qualify for enrollment in one of our clinical trials.

Referral process

If you are interested in referring your patient to our clinical trial program, please email us with details about your patient. We will guide you through the referral process.

What to expect

We strive to initiate the enrollment process within 48 hours of receiving a referral email. Following a pre-enrollment discussion with the dog's owner, we will notify you via email of whether or not your patient has been enrolled. All records of care will be sent to both the primary clinician and any other involved specialists.
