Kinavet-CA1 What You Should Know #22

Dr. Ettinger and Dr. Dressler discuss the use of Kinavet-CA1®, a conditionally FDA-approved drug for dogs, as a chemotherapeutic treatment for dog cancer.

Topics Covered:

  • What is Kinavet?
  • How does it differ from Palladia
  • Safety Precautions


Editor's note: The Food and Drug Administration canceled the temporary approval for Kinavet CA1 in late 2015 due to lack of evidence of effectiveness. We have left this episode intact in order to be transparent about how treatments that show early promise don't always work out in the long-term. A similar drug, Palladia, is fully approved for use.
