Veterinary oncology is the diagnosis and treatment of animal cancers with the goal of extending and improving their quality of life. Veterinary oncologists typically treat common cancers that include skin tumors, mammary tumors, endocrine tumors, bone tumors and cancers of the blood. The good news is that many pet cancers are better understood now and can be effectively treated to help ensure the most healthy, happy time with your pet.

A veterinary oncologist is a licensed veterinarian with advanced training. Oncologists generally specialize in cancer surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy. Our oncologists work within the VCA Pet CancerCare (PCC) program, with over 65 board-certified oncologists and over 35 centers to deliver advanced treatment. The PCC approach is raising the bar on cancer treatment by bringing state of the art therapy to your pet's treatment. This journey of cancer diagnosis and treatment includes you and your primary care veterinarian as integral members of your pet's treatment team.
