Having a beloved pet diagnosed with cancer can be difficult, but there are many options available for pet owners.
Hampton Park offers pet chemotherapy for cats and dogs to treat a range of cancers. We’ll work with you to figure out the best treatments for your pet, given their individual condition. Our goal is not only to extend the quality of life for pets diagnosed with cancer in Lynbrook and the surrounding areas but also to ensure that their days are filled with comfort and joy.
Life with Pet Chemotherapy
You don’t need to change much about your day-to-day life with your pet while they’re undergoing treatment. During pet chemotherapy, your pet can still enjoy their regular daily activities, like sleeping in bed with you, snuggling with you, and hanging out with the other family pets. The only precaution is to use gloves when handling their urine or faeces for your safety for the few days following treatment.
Chemotherapy: Understanding Pet Cancer Treatment
Pet chemotherapy is the term for a group of drugs that can kill pet cancer cells. We often suggest using these drugs after the removal of a malignant tumor.
Our goal at Hampton Park is to find the most effective way to eliminate your pet’s cancerous cells with as few side effects as possible.
Each patient will have a different combination of medications based on the type of cancer and their general health status at the time of treatment. While the idea of chemotherapy for your pet may make you anxious, it’s important to note that our approach to pets with cancer is to lessen discomfort and enhance effective treatments.
Your pet will receive safe, individualized cancer care.
Every pet’s experience with cancer is unique, so our veterinarians take a customized approach to pet chemotherapy. By adjusting treatment plans to each pet’s needs, we aim to minimize side effects and closely monitor their response to the medication. This strategy allows us to target cancerous cells more effectively, particularly in cases like pet lymphoma, which is among the most responsive cancers to pet chemotherapy.
