Advanced Cancer Treatment for Dogs and Cats in Tucson

When your pet has cancer, the goal isn’t just more time—it’s meaningful time. We don’t push one-size-fits-all protocols. We talk with you, learn about your pet, and build a plan that balances medical possibility with emotional reality. Whether you want to explore every option or simply keep your pet comfortable, we’ll meet you there.

Our treatment options include:

  • Chemotherapy (single or combination protocols)
  • Radiation therapy using our on-site LINAC
  • Investigational therapies and clinical trials
  • Nutritional guidance and quality-of-life support

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Oncology Appointment

Your first visit begins with a conversation. One of our board-certified oncologists will review your pet’s history, perform a physical exam, and walk you through next steps at a pace that makes sense for you. We take time to answer your questions—both the practical ones and the hard ones.

While we can’t change the diagnosis, we can make sure you’re never navigating it alone. From day one, we offer:

  • Appointments by referral, ensuring coordinated, specialist-led care
  • Ongoing communication with your family veterinarian
  • A calm, private clinic environment designed to reduce stress for pets and people
  • Insurance support, including guidance for Trupanion claims

Veterinary Cancer Specialists Serving Southern Arizona
