This site was developed to provide a current information source for dog owners, clinical veterinarians and pathologists who wrestle dissecting the intricacies of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the spectrum of canine histiocytic proliferative diseases.

The site structure is geared toward both the dog owner and the professional. For the dog owner there is an overview of histiocytic diseases of dogs and a frequently asked questions (FAQ) discussion where many of your questions will already have been answered. For the professional (and interested dog owner) there is a more technical overview of histiocytic diseases and a detailed, illustrated description of the individual histiocytic diseases.

I hope you find this site of use in clearing up doubts, misinformation and in dealing with the frustration of canine histiocytic disease. I would like to thank the Institute for Genetic Disease Control for arranging the financial support that made it possible to develop this site.
