Description
The Stanton Foundation's Canine Mission, in partnership with organizations such as the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), funds initiatives aimed at advancing the health and welfare of dogs. The primary focus is on supporting clinical research that develops cost-effective diagnostic or treatment options, particularly those that can be offered to clients with limited veterinary care budgets. The program seeks to expand the evidence base for affordable, sustainable veterinary care for conditions commonly seen in general practice, ensuring that high-quality care remains accessible to families of modest economic means. Projects must have immediate applicability in primary care settings and be financially viable for private practitioners.
