When a pet is faced with cancer, it can be very overwhelming for the owner. Below are some resources that MAF hopes will help pet owners better understand their pet's particular cancer and treatment options.
Some of the sites can help you find a veterinary oncologist in your area. These sites and books are offered as resources and you should always check with your veterinarian about your pet's health and treatment options.
Has your pet been diagnosed with cancer?
