Current Clinical Research

The University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital is conducting several clinical trials for both small and large animals. Data collected from clinical trials can lead to safer, more effective treatments for many illnesses we see in our patients. Each clinical trial has been reviewed by the Clinical Research Committee and Hospital Board, which serve as the College's internal review boards.

Please check the list below to see if your pet qualifies for one of the trials listed. Further information can be found by following the link on the right side of the table. Please check back frequently for new clinical trials.
