We've had a busy (if frozen!) Start to the year, looking after our existing patients and meeting some gorgeous new faces!

We have some of the most dedicated owners! We ask so much of them, from making care decisions that can change unexpectedly, to weekly clinic visits, and frequent phone updates or emails! Our Team are here to support them as much as our patients!

Today, one of the Team's firm favourites came in for her final scheduled chemotherapy treatment, and her wonderful family came bearing gifts for us, along with the most beautiful personalised card!

Thank you for your Thank you, it truly made our day!

Neil and Kirsty were delighted to be back on the road last night, presenting Oncology focused CPD to veterinary professionals from many different practices in the area.

We were hosted by our friends and fellow independent practice in their brand new, fantastic facility in Pa**l, Harrogate.

Huge Thank You to Laura and her team for organising a wonderful evening!

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers we treat here at Cancer Care for Pets and we thought it would be a lovely idea to share the story of one of these special patients, from beginning through to end of life care. Hulk’s story is one such story, and while it is a very emotional one, we feel it perfectly represents our values and aims as a practice. We cannot thank Hulk’s owners, Craig and Francesca, enough for allowing us to share his journey. We have two sides to this post, one in the words of our wonderful nurse Holly, and then from Craig and Francesca. We are so grateful for their incredibly kind and touching words about our care for Hulk and for our team!

Happy National Receptionists' day to our front line hero, Diane!

Diane has been with us since January 2023 and has over 15 years experience as a veterinary receptionist! She is likely to be your first point of contact when you come and see us, and is always on hand with kind words, pet cuddles and cups of tea!

It is also Diane's birthday today! Happy Birthday Diane 🥳

Here she is last week with her MVP Golden Llama for her incredible support to the clinical team on a daily basis! We'd be lost without you!!

Gorgeous Billy!!

Billy was referred to the team last October for staging and treatment of an a**l gland tumour. This involved a CT scan and sampling the mass, followed by surgery and chemotherapy, paired with tennis balls and cocktail sausages!!

Here's Billy celebrating reaching the end of his chemotherapy last week with a special doggy cupcake! We will see this happy, bouncy ball of energy again for a review in 3 months time!

Today marks the first day of Pet Cancer Awareness Month!

As in people, early diagnosis is often key to more successful treatments. We aim to provide education and clarity alongside treatment, for both our pet families and referring primary care vets!

We will be using this month to highlight different tests, procedures and treatments some of our amazing patients go through during their cancer journey, and show you how we can make it a positive experience for them, their families and our team!

We received a wonderful video today of Blu, a German Shepherd who had a long operation at Cancer Care for Pets to remove his hind leg and half his pelvis following a high grade sarcoma diagnosis only four weeks ago.

To see him outdoors enjoying himself, full of life and (almost) keeping up with other dogs has made us so happy. We are delighted for Blu and his family.
