Oncological Surgery

Overview

We know it can be extremely difficult to discover that your pet has cancer. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

We perform a range of surgical procedures and tailor them to the needs of your pet in an effort to attack the disease they are fighting and maintain their lifestyle.

When should my pet have oncological surgery?

We will determine the proper veterinary treatment schedule based off of your pet’s condition. Treatment options do not necessarily cure your pet’s condition. Treatment options are performed to attack and fight off the effects of your pet’s condition so that they can maintain their quality of life. Many pets who undergo these treatment options have gained months, and sometimes even years of life.
