Oncology is the specialty focusing on the treatment of cancer. At Four Paws Veterinary Clinic we will work with a board certified oncologist to come up with patient-specific protocols for chemotherapy.

The main function of the Oncology Service is to treat cancer in pets with a goal of curing their disease. We also provide palliative treatment and end of life care.
