For Veterinarians

Cancer is the diagnosis no one wants to hear, but there is hope. Our board-certified oncology veterinarians, veterinary residents and interns, and licensed veterinary technicians are here to support you and your pet throughout your journey.

Diagnosing and treating a pet with cancer involves a team of specialists, including oncologists, internal medicine veterinarians, clinical pathologists, surgeons, and radiologists. At WSU, veterinary students are also part of the team caring for your pet. We also work closely with clients’ referring veterinarians.

Our aim is to maintain, or for many, improve the quality of life for our patients using advanced diagnostic services, innovative treatment, and compassionate care. We will be with you every step of the way.

AAHA Logo

The American Animal Hospital Association is the only trusted evaluator of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada. As an AAHA-accredited hospital since 1983, we voluntarily uphold the association’s high standards in 18 areas, including patient care, cleanliness, and emergency services. Only about 15% of veterinary hospitals meet the evaluation’s high standards and carry this accreditation. We are very proud to be one of them.
