• We use Fear Free® tactics to keep your pet calm and comfortable throughout their visit. This includes:

• Using calming pheromones
• Playing calming music
• Moving slowly
• Talking softly
• Bribing with tasty treats chosen by you via our daily menu
• Working outside if that makes your pet more comfortable

• We are a cage-free environment. We will never put your loved one in a cage while he/she waits for routine treatment.

• Your pet will receive individualized attention while you wait. We treat one patient at a time, so your pet is not surrounded by barking dogs (this is especially helpful for our feline patients). Most appointments are 30 – 60 minutes for your convenience and your pet’s mental health.

• More reasons to choose Hope Veterinary Oncology Services:

• We work in several locations to better serve our community.
• We offer house calls for those pets that just can’t handle the car ride.
• You can see inside our clinic and watch while we treat your loved one if you wish.
• You will always speak to Dr. Rizzo or a highly skilled team member before and after each appointment.
• We work with a social worker to offer you additional emotional support.
• You won’t wait days to hear back from us. We will reply to your calls and emails in a very timely manner.

Most importantly:

We LOVE what we do!
