In veterinary medicine, the goal is not to attempt to cure cancer with rigorous treatment protocols that take our animal patients to the edge and make them very sick. By using gentler treatment protocols and palliative care, the aim is mainly to prolong the best quality of life for as long as possible.
The clinical signs of concern are more often caused by something less serious than cancer but, if it is cancer, finding it early can make a real difference. Diagnosing cancer before it has spread makes treatment more likely to be successful.
A diagnosis of cancer is something that all pet owners dread. However, there are many options for owners who wish to find treatment for their pets and ways of managing the disease.
This doesn’t have to be the end. With our resources for animal cancer support, we can help you find the care your pet needs.
Our ResourcesOur aims as a charity are to:
- Provide education and information that help owners, the veterinary profession and all who care for our pets understand more about cancer and what treatments are possible.
- Facilitate ethical research to improve our understanding and treatment of cancer.
- Work with partners, at home and abroad, to pursue the fight against cancer in our pets.
Our goals are to:
- Provide animal cancer support for owners dealing with cancer in their pets throughout the whole journey.
- Equip veterinary professionals to ensure they can provide optimum support through the Cancer Alert Practice (CAP) scheme.
Our new website and the Cancer Alert Practice (CAP) campaign will help us to:
- Provide informative, independent and educational material to pet owners
- Provide a resource for owners looking for oncology services for their pets
- Educate and inform professionals on topics associated with cancer in pets
- Ensure our activities are sustainable by generating sufficient income to support them
In the longer term we plan to develop our research and treatment strategy to ensure veterinary oncology continues to deliver state-of-the-art options for pets with cancer.
Our Mission is:
To fulfil our vision by making sure that a cancer diagnosis carries with it the possibility of living with one of the most manageable chronic diseases. We carry out our mission through education, research and treatment.
Our Values determine our priorities and the way we work:
Regular communication and working in partnership with other organisations, pet owners and animal health professionals is essential in meeting our mission statement. With good teamwork we aim to communicate via social media, our website and face-to-face interactions.
We respect the feelings of pet owners and provide trustworthy information that we communicate in an honest and open way. By sharing information within the pet community we can help to empower pet owners and animal health professionals, and inspire them to remain optimistic.
