Cancer Care Plans
Hope Veterinary Oncology services is proud to provide nationwide cancer care plans to general practitioners anywhere and everywhere, caring for pets with cancer who do not have direct access to a veterinary oncologist.
HVOS brings veterinary cancer treatment to the patient in our state-of-the-art mobile oncology unit. We want to help you and your patients by providing detailed cancer treatment plans based on the latest scientific research and technologies.
You may be surprised to know that only half of our patients are currently receiving traditional intravenous chemotherapy. The other half are treated with oral chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapies, nutritional support, pain management, and supplements. Dr. Rizzo can help you do the same via detailed written guidance with recommendations and responses to specific questions. We can also chat via zoom if you like.
Remote Consultations
We recognize that oncology may not be your area of expertise, and explaining all the necessary information to clients can be stressful. That’s why we’re excited to now offer direct consultations with pet parents. Dr. Rizzo can discuss the established diagnosis, disease behavior, treatment options, and prognosis. She will then inform you if the family wishes to proceed with treatment and provide you with the same comprehensive guidelines.
