About

The Canine Cruciate Registry (CCR) collects information about cruciate surgery in dogs from across the UK.

About the registry

Despite being the most common canine orthopedic surgery, the best treatment for cruciate ligament injuries remains unclear. Our free, unbiased registry gathers vital data on surgical techniques and outcomes to improve veterinary standards through transparency.

The registry relies on the volume and accuracy of the information provided by both veterinary teams and dog owners. The information provided is vital in helping us to identify which procedures and techniques give the best outcomes and have the fewest complications.

Our mission

It’s free to use for both dog owners and veterinary surgeons.
