🐾 What is a Veterinary Oncologist? 🩺

Just like in human medicine, veterinarians can specialize! A veterinary oncologist undergoes 4 to 5 years of additional training in cancer biology, diagnosis, and treatment for animals. They work closely with you and your pet's care team to provide expert cancer care. At Friendship Oncology Specialists, we're proud to be the only hospital in Washington, DC, with board-certified oncologists!

At Friendship Oncology Specialists, our focus is on preserving the pet's quality of life while providing the best possible care. Our veterinary oncologists work with you and your primary care vet to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
