Clinical Trials

Dr. Sarsfield and the Clinical Trials Team have been participating in FDA clinical trials for over 7 years.

The Animal Hospital of Dauphin County’s dedicated staff along with our clients and their companions have contributed to Veterinary Science by participating in clinical trials.

Clinical trials are a type of research that studies new treatments for dogs and cats. The Animal Hospital of Dauphin County participates in clinical trials that are going through the later phases of studies. The purpose of clinical research is to develop knowledge and treatments that improve animal health. Some studies provide access to cutting-edge research treatments that are not yet available to the general public.

Many trials provide free physical exams, bloodwork and medications. Owners who participate are expected to comply with study requirements such as bringing their pet in for study visits at specified times and may be asked to complete owner log books.

Deb Ash

The vets here are wonderful and they will tell you like it is and not sugarcoat the issues with your pet. Been coming here for years and it is always easy to get an appointment at either of their locations

Jan Ritter

Every vet and every technician has seemed to love our cats. Amanda and Dr. Sarsfield, especially! We participated in a clinical trial, for which we hope the compensation may help with future expenses. Each vet has vast experience and are so caring! Amanda always wants to be available to clip our kitties' claws!

Linda Duncan

I love this place it is great that they have a cat and a dog side no wait very quick within and out service

Jean Miller

The staff is great from the front desk to the to the doctor. Everyone is professional and willing to help and answer any questions you may have. Dr. Fletcher is an animal lover not only a vet. She was on the floor with our dog and took her time to explain everything we needed to know. It is a very busy office, but they are timely with their appointments. He ended up have surgery there, and everything from drop off to pick up went well.
