If you or your family veterinarian suspects your pet has cancer, it’s only natural to be afraid. But know this: there are new therapies today that are changing the way we’re able to treat cancer in animals. These treatments offer real hope for improved outcomes and a good quality of life for your pet.
At Oradell Animal Hospital, our oncology team—led by a board-certified veterinary oncologist—is on the forefront of these advances. Working together, they provide consultations, diagnostics and personalized treatment recommendations for all types of pet cancer.

Our board-certified oncologists will work closely with your primary care veterinarian, surgeon, radiation oncologist and other veterinary cancer care providers to ensure a cohesive and well-coordinated treatment plan.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) lists 10 warning signs of cancer in companion animals. While these signs can occur with diseases other than cancer, if you notice any of them in your pet, it warrants further evaluation by your primary care veterinarian to rule out cancer as the underlying cause.
