Veterinary Oncology in Raleigh
Unfortunately for pet parents, cancer is all too common among pets. Our veterinary team understands the importance of an early cancer diagnosis and intervention. We know that the earlier it is caught, the better your pet’s quality of life and long-term prognosis may be.

This approach includes:
- Regular cancer screenings as necessary for your pet
- Surgical intervention when appropriate
With an increasing number of oncology treatment options available to pets these days, our hospital staff understands that choosing the right cancer treatment option for your pet can be overwhelming.

Seeking Outside Opinions

These recommendations are not made lightly and are given with the specialist’s field of expertise and your pet’s specific type of cancer diagnosis in mind. We urge you to always follow up with oncology referrals for your pet.
