We know how much extending quality of life can mean
As pet owners and caregivers ourselves, we understand what a cancer diagnosis can mean to you, your pet and your family.
That’s why our Medical Oncology specialists have dedicated their careers to managing cancer in pets and extending comfortable life span.
While many cancers are not curable, our compassionate and highly trained Medical Oncology team employs state-of-the-art therapeutic and clinical treatments that may help achieve remission and improve quality of life.
MedVet is the only private cancer center for pets in Ohio, and one of only a handful in the country. We treat both common and rare cancers in pets, including, but not limited to:
- Histiocytic sarcoma
- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Malignant melanoma
- Mammary gland carcinoma
- Mast cell tumor
- Osteosarcoma
- Soft tissue sarcoma
- Transitional cell carcinoma
Our multimodality approach means we explore more than one form of therapy to develop a treatment plan for your pet. As with all MedVet specialties, our doctors work in cooperation with your family veterinarian throughout diagnosis and treatment; and we work with you to help make ongoing therapy convenient for you and comfortable for your pet.
