Chemotherapy cancer treatment

Although it can be frightening to learn that your pet has cancer there have been big advances in treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer in pets nowadays. If your pet has been diagnosed with cancer it is possible that you will be offered some form of chemotherapy (perhaps alongside surgery or radiation therapy). In many people's minds the term 'chemotherapy' conjures up frightening images of people suffering with cancer (and the effects of treatment) - however chemotherapy in pets is usually very different due to administration of lower dosages to maintain a good quality of life.
