MDR1 genetic testing
Certain breeds of dogs and cats have a genetic predisposition that causes adverse reactions to commonly used medications. Collies, Australian shepherds, and long-haired whippets are some of the commonly affected breeds.
WSU offers a test to determine if a dog or cat has the MDR1 gene mutation.

Clinical studies
Like in human medicine, clinical trials help veterinarians investigate methods to prevent disease and discover new ways to improve disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Participation is completely voluntary. Learn more about our current trials to decide if participating is right for your client’s pet.
