Chemotherapy is a cornerstone of cancer treatment in veterinary medicine and can be administered in several ways, by injection, orally at home, or directly into a tumor. The goal of chemotherapy is to slow or stop cancer progression while keeping your pet as comfortable and active as possible. At Veterinary Cancer Health, each chemotherapy protocol is carefully tailored to your companion’s diagnosis, overall health, and how well they are tolerating treatment.
Unlike in human oncology, most pets experience minimal side effects from chemotherapy. We monitor your pet closely with recheck exams and lab work to ensure the safest possible outcome. Our team is here to support both you and your pet throughout the process, adjusting the plan if needed to maintain quality of life. Whether used as a primary therapy or combined with surgery or other treatments, chemotherapy can significantly extend both time and quality of life.
