Treating Cancer in Dogs and Cats

Successful treatment of cancer in dogs and cats is possible with early detection, which is usually achieved with the help of annual physical exams and routine blood work. Often, pets will not show signs of a problem until it has become more serious, so regular checkups are critical. Furthermore, many types of cancer start by developing inside the body.

At Midtown Veterinary Practice, we can perform surgical removal of tumors in some cases, but we also offer chemotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy for humans, pet chemotherapy often has less negative impact on your companion’s health and comfort. Dogs and cats usually respond well to chemotherapy and experience less severe side effects. Depending on your pet’s particular condition, we may recommend oral or injectable chemotherapy.

In the event that your pet needs further treatment for their cancer, we can refer you both to the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine or Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners.
