Questionnaire-based assessment of owner concerns and doctor responsiveness: 107 canine chemotherapy patients.

Objective: To quantify owner concerns regarding clinical signs in canine patients receiving chemotherapy and to assess degree of concordance between client and veterinarian concerns regarding patient quality of life.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of owner-reported concerns during chemotherapy treatment. Owner-reported adverse events were recorded sequentially for each patient through a partially open design questionnaire and correlated with veterinary patient summaries for each visit.
