Find a Veterinary Specialist
Finding the right veterinary specialists to add to your cancer team is one
of the most important steps you can take in helping your dog in their fight. These are the people you will rely on throughout
the journey for advice about treatment options, supplements, nutrition and complementary therapies.
With
so many options available to help animals live healthier, longer lives, it's hard for any one vet to be an expert in everything.
That's why it's so important for you, as a pet owner, to do your homework and to help guide your pup's cancer
plan by researching different options and finding the right professional to help with the therapies you choose. You
may have to work with several different practitioners at various points to help ensure that your pup has the best chance of
beating -- or living a high quality of life -- after a cancer diagnosis.
If this is the case, always be
sure that each doctor has ALL of the information he or she needs to make the best decisions about your pup's plan
of care. Remember, even natural supplements and alternative therapies can be powerful medicine and may not always be
compatible with conventional treatment protocols. By keeping good records and maintaining open communication, you and
your pup's treatment team can work together in the best interest of your best friend.
