Helping Pets Fight Cancer with Compassion and Expertise

A cancer diagnosis in a beloved pet can feel overwhelming—but at Kirrawee Vet Hospital, you don’t have to face it alone. We’re proud to offer comprehensive in-clinic oncology services, including chemotherapy and surgical treatment, right here under one roof. That means faster access to care, reduced stress for your pet, and continued support from a team you already know and trust.

Cancer in pets is, sadly, more common than many expect—especially as our pets live longer, healthier lives. It can be caused by a variety of factors, from genetic predispositions and environmental exposures to still-unknown triggers. Our goal is to help identify and treat cancer early, and provide the most effective, compassionate care possible.

Our on-site cancer treatments are guided by protocols designed in consultation with specialist veterinary oncologists and tailored to your pet’s individual diagnosis and needs. Some of the cancers we commonly treat include:

• Tissue cancers (affecting muscle, bone, and internal organs)

• Tumours or lesions requiring surgical removal

• Skin cancers, often caused by sun exposure

• Leukaemia and other blood-related cancers

• Neurological tumours, such as brain cancer

• Cell-based cancers, including lymphoma

Chemotherapy for pets is very different from human treatment. It’s designed to prioritise quality of life, often with minimal side effects. Our goal is not to prolong life at all costs, but to give your pet more good days with you—comfortable, happy, and well-supported.

That said, chemotherapy is a journey that takes an incredible amount of love and dedication from pet parents. It involves regular visits, monitoring, and emotional energy. We honour the commitment our clients make, and we’re with you every step of the way—offering transparency, compassion, and personalised care.

If you notice any of the following signs, it’s worth reaching out:

• New or unusual lumps and bumps

• Unexplained weight loss or abdominal swelling

• Loss of appetite or signs of pain

• Lethargy, behavioural changes, or abnormal discharge

Early intervention can make a big difference.

If your pet has recently been diagnosed, or if you're unsure about the next step, our team is here to help guide you. With years of experience in treating and managing cancer in animals, we’re committed to doing everything we can to support both you and your pet.

You’re not alone—and neither is your pet.
