If not found and arrested in time, cancer can expand and connect with the circulatory or lymph systems, and also can spread and infect other tissues in the body. These cells can originate in any of the body's tissues. Cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body.


Unlike many other species of animals, dogs are susceptible to the same types of cancer as humans. This includes choosing the best options for effectively, humanely and successfully dealing with canine cancer. We are here to guide you both through the diagnosis and treatment process. Our veterinarians and support staff are empathetic, compassionate and trained to focus on both the emotional and medical aspects of dog cancer. The mutual bond of love and loyalty between you can make a diagnosis of any form of dog cancer very difficult to hear. At Lombard Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your canine companion is not just a pet, but that he or she is a beloved, cherished family member.
