Understanding Pet Cancer Care

Cancer comes in many forms, and each case requires careful evaluation.

Our goal is to identify the type of cancer, understand how far it has progressed, and determine the safest and most effective path forward for your pet.

We focus on early detection, clear communication, and evidence-based treatment options tailored to each patient.

Our Oncology Services

🔬

Comprehensive Diagnostics & Investigations

We offer a wide range of diagnostic tests to determine the type and stage of cancer, including:

  • Fine-needle aspiration and biopsies
  • Ultrasound and X-ray imaging
  • Bloodwork and internal organ evaluation
  • Histopathology and cytology

Early and accurate diagnosis gives us the best chance at successful treatment.

🩺

Surgical Oncology​

For most cancers, surgery is the most effective treatment when performed early.

Getting the first surgery right — with clean margins and precise technique — provides the strongest chance of cure or long-term control.

Our surgical team prioritizes safety, pain management, and meticulous removal of tumors whenever possible.

💊

Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy Referral

When surgery alone is not enough, or when cancer cannot be surgically removed, we work closely with trusted veterinary oncologists.

  • Your pet may be referred for:
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation therapy
  • Targeted cancer treatments

We stay involved throughout the process to support follow-ups, comfort, and quality of life.
