Veterinary Oncology Services
Oncology is the study of cancer. As with humans, cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases in companion animals. Receiving a diagnosis of cancer for your beloved pet can be frightening – fortunately, due to recent progress in the field of veterinary oncology, a cancer diagnosis doesn't mean that there are no options.
Instead, cancer is currently viewed as a chronic disease that can be managed - much like how heart or kidney disease is managed - thanks to advances in the development of more effective treatments and decreased side effects for your pet.
If your pet has been diagnosed with cancer, your primary care veterinarian may refer you to see an oncology specialty department. Veterinarians who focus on oncology have graduated rigorous training programs and are experts in the study and treatment of cancer. At Pieper, our oncologists will focus on the treatment of your pet’s cancer and work together with your primary care veterinarian and other specialists for the complete management of all your pet’s conditions.
If your pet has been referred to Pieper Veterinary Stratford for oncology, or if you have questions about the service, please give us a call and we'd be happy to assist you.
