About Us
Online Oncologist is a bespoke consulting service that is tailored specifically for primary care clinicians and their cancer patients. Recognising that there are often limited clear guidelines in veterinary oncology, expert guidance is provided through the available diagnostic and treatment options that are informed by the most recent research. At the same time, we are sensitive to the financial constraints faced by many pet owners and the pressures within busy veterinary settings, so our advice is, above all, practical.
We offer a range of tailor-made solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of each case, helping veterinarians to enhance their patient care without over-extending their resources. You will be empowered with the knowledge to confidently manage oncology cases and communicate with your clients.
