When your pet is diagnosed with cancer, it is difficult and shocking news.  We all wish we knew where cancer comes from and when it comes to a treatment process, we want all the possible information about our pet’s type of cancer and all treatment options available.

Your pet’s doctor will discuss surgical options, tests to determine cancer type, tests to see if the cancer has spread, and other options such as radiation and chemotherapy.  Your doctor will also discuss your pet’s prognosis with treatment and what he or she will go through physically and emotionally.

Some testing and treatment options can be performed in our hospital, while others will be referred to an oncology (cancer) treatment center, especially if radiation is required.

Early detection is very important when it comes to cancer.  That is why yearly physicals are so important.  Some pets and breeds are more prone to cancer than others.  Financial protection plans are available from Veterinary Pet Insurance.  This enables you to afford the best possible cancer treatment for your pet without financial constraints on you.
