Clinical Trials for Brain Tumors
Brain tumors in dogs and cats include meningiomas, gliomas, and pituitary tumors, with meningiomas being the most common in both species. Symptoms often include seizures, behavioral changes, and neurological deficits. University research programs are studying advanced radiation techniques, targeted molecular therapies, and novel surgical approaches through funded clinical trials.

Understanding Brain Tumor in Pets
Brain tumors in dogs and cats include several types — meningiomas are the most common in both species. They can cause seizures, behavioral changes, and neurological symptoms depending on location.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats
- Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older animals
Breeds it's seen in more often
Boxers, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs.
This is which breeds tend to develop brain tumor — not a list of who can join a trial. See eligibility below.
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Trials typically enroll based on tumor type, imaging findings, and whether prior treatment has been given. Both dogs and cats may be eligible depending on the study's scope. The listed breeds have documented higher rates in dogs specifically.
Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
