Cancer Care Options
Hearing that your beloved pet companion has cancer is never easy. In that moment, many families begin to wonder where to turn, what options are available within their means, and how they can best support their pet through the journey ahead.
What does holistic cancer care look like at Hosanna Animal Hospital?
At Hosanna Animal Hospital, we look to combine conventional treatments alongside a variety of therapies that can help to manage symptoms, reduce side effects of certain medicines, and limit the energy source that cancer cells feed on to grow.
Additional therapies that may be recommended as part of your pet’s personalized treatment plan include:
- Acupuncture to alleviate pain, nausea, and fatigue associated with cancer and its treatments. Acupuncture is used to stimulate the immune system and improve circulation.
- Herbal medicines and supplements can support your pet’s immune system and reduce inflammation and common side effects of conventional cancer treatments. This approach continues our commitment to treating the whole pet, not just the disease.
- Nutritional therapy that focuses on a customized diet to address the unique metabolic needs of your pet. Our goal is to provide nourishment while limiting the energy source that cancer cells use to grow and spread.
At Hosanna Animal Hospital, we are committed to walking by your side through this difficult journey that your pet and your family are experiencing. By creating personalized plans that are best for your pet and your family, we aim to reduce pain, improve comfort, and help you feel empowered in your choices.
