I promised that I would post about the cost of having the VDI blood draw done for the study. The cost for the blood draw and subsequent processing for shipment back to VDI for one dog was $21. If you are in the southern New Jersey or Philadelphia area, are participating in the study, and are concerned about the charges you might incur to participate, here is the contact info for my vet: Willingboro Veterinary Clinic 12 Sidney Lane Willingboro, NJ 08046 Phone 609.871.1600 And here is a link to their website, where you can find directions http://www.willingborovet.com/index.htm IMPORTANT: If you choose to have the blood draw done here, it is necessary to tell them when you call for the appointment that you are participating in the VDI cancer screening study, and you need a blood draw appointment with a vet tech. If you don't specify this, they will assume you are making an appointment with one of the veterinarians, and you will be charged significantly more than $21. I have been a client at this clinic for 37 years, and I highly recommend it. Jeanne Carlisle ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
