A Different Approach to Oncology Care

Exploring cancer treatment options can feel overwhelming for pet owners, but it doesn’t have to be.

With OncoTails, pet owners can access specialist oncology expertise through video or telephone consultations to discuss diagnosis, treatment options and likely prognosis. Where treatment can be delivered locally, care continues in partnership with the referring veterinarian, with ongoing specialist support throughout.

​

This approach ensures:

  • Clear, specialist led guidance

  • Continuity with the local veterinary team

  • Care delivered in environments where pets feel most comfortable

Working in Partnership With Veterinary Practices

OncoTails is built on collaboration.

We work closely with veterinary teams, offering specialist input before intervention and throughout case management. This allows practices to manage oncology cases with confidence, knowing they are supported by a dedicated oncologist every step of the way.

 

Imagine having an oncologist working alongside your team — reviewing cases, advising on diagnostics and treatment planning and helping guide families through complex decisions with clarity and compassion.
