Overview
Veterinary clinical research is the application of scientific methods to investigate the health, diseases, diagnosis, and treatment of animals in clinical settings. It encompasses studies of naturally occurring disease in companion, farm, and other animals, as well as investigations into diagnostic techniques, surgical and medical interventions, anesthesia, and preventive care. Through approaches such as case-control studies, clinical trials, retrospective reviews, and pilot investigations, veterinary clinical research aims to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, the effectiveness and safety of treatments, and the overall standard of animal care. Beyond benefiting the animals themselves, this research contributes to food safety, public health through the control of zoonotic and animal diseases, and comparative medicine, since findings in animals can inform the understanding of human disease. The field draws on disciplines including pathology, microbiology, surgery, oncology, and epidemiology. Within the scope of Veterinary Healthcare, which addresses the clinical care and study of animal health, this page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to veterinary clinical investigation, including studies of disease risk factors, diagnostic methods, surgical and anesthetic techniques, and outcomes in companion and other animals.
