Your work today
could improve
the lives of pets
tomorrow
Be one of the first to gain hands-on experience with upcoming therapies
At the same time, you will be making a meaningful difference, giving back to your profession and helping to make animal health advances possible.
You can expect generous compensation for the work you do. You and your team will also benefit from Sponsor-provided training on the standard of care for the specific therapeutic area of the study, which may enhance the knowledge base of your practice.
I want to be in the front of the line to help with these studies. We now have five people involved part time and are so busy we must turn work down. The pharmaceutical sponsors treat you very well and will support both your clinic and the studies.

I love working on these studies because we then have awareness of new products before anyone else. You work with the products and know the ones that will be game changers. You get the experience of using the products early, so you become comfortable with them. You can’t get that experience anywhere else.

It’s a very sound move financially. Our team enjoys working together on these studies to help clients and treat pets at no charge.

Working with these studies is so fun and rewarding. You have the satisfaction of seeing medications on your pharmacy shelves that you helped bring to market, products that are often light years ahead of what we had before.
