At Central Texas Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital (CTVSEH), we understand how difficult a cancer diagnosis can be for you and your pet. Our veterinary oncology team offers advanced chemotherapy treatments designed to target cancer cells while minimizing side effects, helping your pet live a longer, more comfortable life.
What is Chemotherapy for Pets?
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses medication to destroy or slow the growth of cancer cells. Unlike surgery or radiation, chemotherapy treats cancer systemically, meaning it can reach cancer cells throughout the body. This makes it an important option for many types of cancers in dogs and cats.
Why Choose Chemotherapy at CTVSEH?
- Specialized care: Our board-certified veterinary oncologists develop personalized chemotherapy protocols tailored to your pet’s specific cancer type and health status.

- Cutting-edge therapies: We offer the latest chemotherapy drugs and protocols based on current veterinary oncology research.
What to Expect During Chemotherapy Treatment
Your pet’s chemotherapy treatment plan will be designed to maximize effectiveness and comfort. Treatments are usually given on an outpatient basis, with careful monitoring for any side effects such as nausea, appetite changes, or fatigue. Our team is always available to answer questions and manage any concerns.
Improving Quality of Life
Our goal is not only to fight cancer but to help your pet maintain a happy, active life during and after treatment. Chemotherapy can often shrink tumors, slow cancer progression, and extend survival times with minimal disruption to daily life.
