Changes to Appointment Process
Please be aware that as of Monday, Jan. 10, our Veterinary Teaching Hospital and our Pet Health Center will be adjusting their appointment processes. Our small animal emergency service and the Pet Health Center will change to curbside service only (clients will not be allowed inside the facility). In addition, our small animal and large animal specialty services will change to a modified curbside service (clients can come into the building to check in and out, but they will not be allowed to stay for their appointment). These changes are in response to the highly contagious nature of the current COVID strain. As a healthcare facility, we must take these precautions to maintain a safe working environment that allows us to continue offering world-class veterinary care to our patients.

Cancer in Pets
- Cancer occurs due to uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within the body.
- Cancer is common in pets and many develop the same cancers commonly diagnosed in people.
- Early cancer detection may improve treatment success.
- Although not always curable, most cancers are treatable.
- Maintaining an excellent quality of life is the foremost goal of cancer treatment in pets.
Types of Treatment
Designing an appropriate cancer treatment plan is complex, and treatments are adapted to each individual patient. There are often multiple ways to treat a particular cancer, and it is likely that several treatment options will be presented.
It is important to know your goals and expectations when considering treatment options. Your oncology team will respect your opinions and wishes and help determine the course of action that best suits you and your pet.
