The double-blinded trial is testing Calviri’s vaccine aimed at broadly preventing cancers in dogs. It is being conducted at three leading canine oncology centers – the Flint Animal Cancer Center at CSU, the School of Veterinary Medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
This trial is one of many examples of not just the collaboration and partnership between CU Cancer Center members around the state, but the overlaps between humans and companion animals, or non-working animals, and the growing body of research showing how one can inform the other.
The Arterial Blood Gas at Altitude Study at the Colorado State University James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital is looking for healthy dogs, especially brachycephalic (short-muzzled, flat-faced) breeds — English bulldogs, French bulldogs, and pugs — to participate in this research that will show veterinarians if dogs breathe differently in high altitude environments.

Full FDA approval of Tanovea is the first of its kind, offering hope to the owners of tens of thousands of dogs. The Fort Collins company was launched in 2010 through a partnership with Colorado State University’s Flint Animal Cancer Center.
Two notable studies are those conducted by Colorado State University (CSU) and Cornell University. The study conducted by CSU involved the use of CBD to treat canine epilepsy.
"Bart was exactly the perfect patient," said Bart's surgeon Lisa Bartner, a faculty neurologist at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Herniated discs are very common in French bulldogs and other breeds with short legs and long backs.
