To support you in making informed decisions, we work closely with you and your primary care veterinarian every step of the way.

Before starting treatment, we will take a detailed medical history and assess your pet’s current condition. A comprehensive physical exam will be performed, followed by a thorough review of diagnostic and treatment options.

During your consultation, we will discuss the risks and benefits of chemotherapy in detail, ensuring you feel informed and confident in the treatment plan. The recommended chemotherapy, whether injectable or oral, will be tailored to your pet’s specific cancer type and overall health. Unlike in human medicine, chemotherapy for dogs and cats is carefully designed to minimize side effects, prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Your pet’s quality of life is always our top priority, and we are committed to providing compassionate care every step of the way.

Throughout treatment, ongoing tests and monitoring may be necessary to track progress and adjust care as needed. This may include blood work, imaging such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans, and regular reassessments. We work closely with pet owners and referring veterinarians, collaborating at every stage to achieve the best possible outcome for your beloved companion.
