At HEAL, we’re committed to providing the highest-quality cancer care for your pet while also offering expert guidance and compassionate support to you and your family.
Led by Nick Szigetvari, DVM, DACVIM, one of fewer than 500 board-certified veterinary oncologists in the entire world, our team provides comprehensive medical oncology services, including today’s most advanced chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy protocols.
Importantly, we work collaboratively with other specialists in surgical oncology, diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, interventional radiology, physical therapy and rehabilitation to give your pet a carefully tailored approach to diagnosis and treatment.
And throughout it all, we’ll keep your primary care veterinarian informed and involved in your pet’s care.
At HEAL, we offer a range of medical oncology services to diagnose and treat cancer in pets, including:
A thorough examination and diagnostic workup to identify the type of cancer and determine its stage.
The use of medications proven to destroy cancer cells; notably, dogs and cats typically tolerate chemotherapy quite well (better than humans!).
Treatment that stimulates your pet’s own immune system to fight cancer.
Medications that target specific types of cancer cells with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
Supportive therapies to manage pain, improve quality of life, and provide comfort for pets with advanced or terminal disease.
For convenient access to competitively priced pet medications.
For advanced diagnostics (such as CT/MRI) and other treatment modalities (including surgical oncology, radiation therapy, and clinical trials), we will refer you to and work collaboratively with trusted colleagues in the area.

At our hospital, your pet’s health and safety are always our highest priorities. To provide oncology treatments with the utmost care, we designed and built our facility to meet the rigorous standards outlined in USP <800> guidelines, the gold standard for handling hazardous drugs in healthcare.
Our treatment areas include a specialized biological safety cabinet where chemotherapy medications are carefully prepared in a controlled environment. This advanced engineering, combined with strict safety protocols, minimizes exposure risks and ensures that chemotherapy is administered as safely as possible—for both our patients and the veterinary team providing their care.
By investing in these specialized safeguards, we not only uphold the highest standards of veterinary oncology but also create a secure environment where pets and the people who care for them can feel protected and supported.
