Oncology
Veterinary oncology is the study and treatment of cancer in dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and other exotic and domestic animals.
What is a veterinary oncologist?
A veterinary oncologist is specially trained to diagnose and treat animals with cancer and is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) after completing an approved residency in veterinary oncology and successfully passing two tests to demonstrate both general and specific knowledge in oncology.
Why might I need a veterinary oncologist?
Veterinary oncologists determine the most appropriate course of treatment and coordinate the treatment program for pets with cancer. Often oncologists serve as consultants to assist in the treatment of pets with cancer for veterinarians in private practice.
