Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency (CASE)

Research is different in that it looks at the use of diagnostic and treatment options that are not considered part of routine medical care. This may include the administration of novel experimental medications or the use of new diagnostic devices that are being evaluated as possible future routine medical care. It can also include the collecting of extra patient samples (i.e. blood, urine, tissue) to be used for research studies at a later date.

By enrolling your pet in a research study, you are committing to help us improve the way that we care for our patients in the future. Many studies within Ethos will allow for your pet to receive a treatment or have a diagnostic procedure performed that would not otherwise be available to them. There will also be many studies in which the study does not immediately benefit your pet, but the data collected will benefit other pets and humans in the future. The potential benefits to your pet will always be discussed by your doctor prior to you electing to enroll your pet in a study.
