Oncology
As a comprehensive veterinary specialty hospital, we offer hope and help to cancer patients with our veterinary oncology treatments. The good news is that there are many options for treating pets with cancer today and animals typically experience far fewer side effects than humans undergoing similar treatment.
Many cancer patients are treated with a combination of therapies. They may include one or more of the following:
Chemotherapy
Hospice care
Immunotherapy
Nutritional support
Pain management
Radiation therapy (available by referral)
Surgery
Our team of highly skilled practitioners will work with you to carefully assess your pet and implement a personalized treatment plan based on experience and proven methodologies.
Our comprehensive, onsite laboratory allows for rapid dog and cat oncology analysis to carefully monitor cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Each of our hospitals has a fully stocked pharmacy as well, providing you the convenience to fill prescriptions at your pet’s appointment.
Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology for pets has advanced significantly in recent years. Our compassionate team will work with you to determine if radiation therapy is the most appropriate treatment option for your pet’s cancer.
Radiation oncology services – including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), conventional radiation therapy (CFRT) and palliative care (RT) – are provided by PetCure Oncology by referral at our Glendale hospital.
Just like physical therapy for humans, animal rehabilitation helps improve fitness and maximize mobility, comfort and quality of life.
