Care and Treatment for Pets With Cancer
Can pets with cancer be treated effectively? Yes, they most certainly can.
In fact, today we have more options—and more hope—for cats and dogs diagnosed with cancer than ever before. Many pets with cancer can even be cured of their disease. Others may live with cancer while maintaining a good, even excellent quality of life.
Your Pet’s Treatment Options
While we want to ensure that you have as much time as possible with your pet after a cancer diagnosis, we believe your pet’s quality of life is the most important consideration in choosing a course of treatment. During your initial consultation with our veterinary oncologist, we’ll examine your pet, perform any appropriate diagnostic testing, and explain your pet’s treatment options. Together, we’ll decide on the plan that makes the most sense for your pet as well as for your family’s personal and financial situation.
