Pawspice is committed to the highest standard of compassionate cancer treatment and end of life palliative care to advanced stage and terminal pets by providing a unique Quality of Life Care Program. As pets get older the human-animal bond gets stronger. Many books, articles and even cards describe the love and devotion that animal companions have for their owners, but overlook the dedication that pet owners have for their animal family members.
Pawspice partners with pet owners and their referring veterinarians to challenge their pet's cancer and other terminal illness with a positive and compassionate approach. Supporting the heartfelt emotions of the family while providing quality of life and comfort for their deeply loved animal companions. Many dog owners admire the unique looks and personalities of purebreds, but also worry about the fate of millions of pets euthanized each year.
What many people don't realize is that there are specific breed rescue organizations for almost every breed of dog, placing dogs in need to new homes.

The drug dosages used in veterinary medicine do not cause side effects in the majority of animals.
However, there is a slight risk of side effects and a small percentage of animals may become ill after chemotherapy.
Most side effects occur during the first 72 hours after therapy and last only a few days.
Usual side effects can include lethargy, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
If your pet does have side effects, the drug type or dosage will be modified to minimize the chance of side effects recurring.
