Advanced Medical Oncology Care for Pets

At TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Forestbrook, the team offers Medical Oncology services for pets diagnosed with cancer. These services include chemotherapy, which is designed to help treat cancer, extend a pet’s life, and improve quality of life through compassionate, tailored care.

Comprehensive Cancer Care

Cancer can be a difficult diagnosis for pets and their owners. The hospital provides care designed to address a variety of cancer types using advanced medical oncology techniques. Their goals are to offer effective treatment options and hopeful outcomes, while supporting pets and their families throughout the treatment process.

What Is Chemotherapy for Pets?

Chemotherapy is a medical treatment that targets and interferes with the growth and division of cancer cells. While commonly associated with human cancer care, it can also be an effective option for pets with certain cancers, and always done with the pet’s well-being in mind to prevent or limit side effects.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every pet’s condition is different, so oncology teams at the hospital create personalized treatment plans tailored to the individual pet’s diagnosis and needs. These plans may combine chemotherapy with other treatments (like surgery or radiation) to achieve the best possible results. Throughout treatment, the team monitors the pet’s response and adjusts the plan as needed to keep side effects minimized and comfort optimized.

Ongoing Care & Monitoring

Chemotherapy treatments usually involve medications administered intravenously according to a schedule that suits the pet’s condition and response. The veterinary team continuously tracks progress and makes changes as necessary to ensure the most effective, comfortable care throughout the course of treatment.
