Oncology

Your pet's cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. At DoveLewis, we provide compassionate care for pets with cancer, guiding families through treatment options like chemotherapy and surgery while focusing on comfort, support, and quality time together.

Fighting Pet Cancer Together.

At DoveLewis, our veterinary oncology team provides compassionate, advanced cancer care for pets, from diagnostics to chemotherapy. We partner closely with pet families and referring veterinarians, offering clear guidance, collaborative care planning, and emotional support at every step. When your pet faces cancer, every update, decision, and small comfort matters — and we’re here to make sure no one feels alone.

Collaborative Care at the State's Top Veterinary Center.

Our oncology service is integrated within our specialty and emergency hospital, so your pet’s care stays coordinated under one roof. Teams communicate seamlessly, handoffs are thoughtful, and everyone works from the same plan. For pet owners, that means less repeating your story and smoother logistics. For veterinarians, it means streamlined collaboration and timely updates. Our shared focus is simple: helping pets have more good days at home with the people who love them.

Clear Communication and Kindness, Not Just Excellent Medicine.

Before your pet's oncology appointment, we make sure you know what to expect and what to bring so you feel prepared. During the visit, we take the time to get to know your pet, answer any questions you may have, and outline the next steps. After the appointment, you’ll leave with a straightforward follow-up plan, including medications, scheduled treatments, and contact information for our oncology team so you know exactly what happens next and how to reach us.

A Clear Journey for Every Pet

Most families follow a simple, guided path with us. At every stage, you’ll know what’s happening, what to expect next, and how we’ll monitor progress together. If your pet requires additional services — such as rehabilitation, pain management, or emergency care — we coordinate everything under one roof. That way, pet owners can focus on spending quality time with their pets, and referring veterinarians can trust that care is seamless and thorough.
