Cancer care in veterinary medicine has advanced dramatically over the past two decades. We biopsy earlier, stage more accurately, and treat more effectively than ever before. Yet one of the most powerful tools we have to influence treatment tolerance, immune competence, and quality of life does not sit in the pharmacy—it sits in the bowl. From the moment a biopsy confirms a diagnosis, dietary planning should become an intentional part of the oncology conversation.
The CVMA is proud to announce that starting July 1, 2026, the CVMA’s Legal Services Program will be provided through Klinedinst PC, a premier California-based law firm with offices throughout the state and beyond. For over 25 years, Klinedinst has represented the veterinary profession on matters large and small—including through liability insurance policies brokered through Veterinary Insurance Services Company (VISC)—and has been the principal firm representing veterinarians in both license-related matters before the California Veterinary Medical Board (CVMB) and in disputes before California civil courts.
