Veterinary Cancer Group OC, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We prioritize pain management as a cornerstone of oncology care, offering medications, acupuncture, laser therapy, and palliative treatments to ensure your pet remains comfortable. Our team works closely with you to tailor pain relief strategies that align with their quality-of-life goals.

We specialize in advanced oncology care, offering cutting-edge chemotherapy protocols and radiation therapy tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Our board-certified oncologists develop customized treatment plans that combine multiple modalities—including immunotherapy—to maximize comfort, function, and quality of life while targeting the disease aggressively.

We integrate acupuncture into our holistic oncology care plans to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility for pets undergoing cancer treatment or palliative care. Dr. Joann Boyer, a certified veterinary acupuncturist, tailors sessions to complement conventional therapies.

We utilize cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation) to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and alleviate pain in cancer patients. This non-invasive treatment is often used post-surgery or alongside chemotherapy/radiation to improve recovery and comfort.

Our clinic offers animal chiropractic care to alleviate pain, enhance spinal alignment, and improve neurological function in cancer patients. These adjustments can help pets maintain mobility and comfort, especially when combined with other therapies like physical therapy or acupuncture.

Dr. Boyer provides herbal medicine consultations to support your pet’s immune system, reduce side effects from treatments (e.g., chemotherapy), and manage symptoms like nausea or inflammation. These natural therapies are personalized to complement your pet’s overall care plan.

We provide compassionate guidance through our Hearts & Halos program to help you evaluate your pet’s current quality of life. Our team collaborates with you to assess pain levels, mobility, and overall well-being, ensuring decisions align with what’s best for your pet’s dignity and comfort during their final stages.

Through our Hearts & Halos partnership, we connect you with compassionate mobile veterinarians who can provide at-home euthanasia in the comfort of your pet’s favorite environment. This service ensures a stress-free, loving farewell tailored to your family’s needs and emotional well-being.

For ongoing support between visits, we provide telemedicine consultations with our oncology team. These virtual appointments allow us to monitor your pet’s progress, adjust treatment plans remotely, and address concerns promptly—saving time and reducing stress for you.
