Getting Started: Diagnosis and Evaluation

Before beginning treatment, we perform a comprehensive diagnostic workup to determine the type and stage of your pet’s cancer. Our team collaborates closely with oncology specialists and utilizes advanced diagnostic tools to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. These tools include:

• Digital X-rays and Ultrasound – Non-invasive imaging to evaluate masses and internal organs.
• Tissue Biopsy and Lab Testing – Essential for confirming the diagnosis and determining treatment options.

Together, these resources allow us to develop a clear understanding of your pet’s condition and create a personalized care plan.

Individualized Cancer Treatment Plans

Once we understand your pet’s diagnosis, we’ll discuss treatment options with you in detail. Depending on the type and location of the cancer, treatment may include:

• Surgical Removal of Masses
• Chemotherapy
• Palliative Care to improve comfort and quality of life

Every pet’s experience with cancer is unique. Our team works closely with you to ensure you feel informed and empowered throughout the process.

Chemotherapy for Pets

Chemotherapy is a commonly used treatment for many types of cancer in dogs and cats. While it’s normal to be concerned about side effects, pets typically tolerate chemotherapy far better than humans. Here’s what you should know:

• Customized Protocols – Chemotherapy plans are carefully tailored based on your pet’s type of cancer, overall health, and how they respond over time.
• Minimized Side Effects – Most pets experience mild side effects, if any. In some cases, side effects may include temporary stomach upset, low white blood cell counts, or hair thinning.
• Quality of Life Comes First – Our goal is always to maintain your pet’s comfort and happiness while fighting cancer as effectively as possible.

We’ll monitor your pet closely and adjust treatment as needed to reduce side effects and optimize results.
