Pet Oncology

Pet Oncology

We recognize that a diagnosis of cancer is heartbreaking. It is normal to have intense emotions. A cancer diagnosis does not necessarily mean that there is no hope; there are options that may result in highly favorable outcomes, depending on the type of cancer involved and how quickly it is discovered.

Our veterinary professionals and support staff are well-trained, extremely sympathetic, and aware of the need to concentrate on the emotional and medical elements of treating cancer. We want to make sure you have a thorough grasp of your pet’s sickness and can make the best decisions for both you and your pet. We’re here to work with you.

Cancer Treatment For Pets

A correct diagnosis is the first step in cancer treatment for pets. We start with a thorough physical examination and evaluate blood tests, and when necessary, use diagnostic imaging techniques like radiography or ultrasound. Additionally, we perform needle aspirates— a type of biopsy in which a needle is used to collect cells from the tumor to help identify its type. A core biopsy may be required for certain tumor types. In some cases, we collaborate with cancer specialists for advanced diagnostics such as MRI and CT scans. While we do not provide chemotherapy or radiation treatments on-site, we refer patients to trusted veterinary oncology specialists for these services as part of a comprehensive care plan.
