Cancer Screening

What Is Cancer Screening?

Just like in people, cancer screening should be an important part of preventative care in dogs; the goal is to look for cancer when your pet is feeling well before they start to show any clinical signs. During wellness visits, our veterinarians at Kentown Animal Hospital look for early signs of cancer in your dog by performing a thorough physical exam, and commonly will ask you about any concerning observations.

In addition to the physical exam, we may recommend running blood work and imaging.
