Cancer Care for Pets is an independent veterinary oncology referral service.

Who we are

Cancer Care for Pets is an independent veterinary oncology referral service situated in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Our facility is located within Donaldson’s Vets on Somerset Road.

Opening in 2019, Donaldson’s Vets is a state of the art facility providing us with access to high sterility operating theatres, human- grade CT scanner and our own dedicated oncology suite with large, comfortable consulting rooms, in house laboratory and separate cat and dog wards to make your pet’s time with us as comfortable as possible.

Our vets, Giulia and Yuri, work alongside our dedicated and experienced oncology nurses Kirsty, Jenna, Holly and Joe and are all supported by our receptionist Diane.

Referrals

We accept referrals either by your primary care vet, or self-referrals. Either way we will need your pet’s full clinical history and lab reports, which will require you to give consent to your primary care practice to share these with us.

Once we have received a referral request, a member of our team will contact you directly to arrange an initial referral appointment with one of our oncologists. We will arrange a time to suit you and where possible, look to arrange procedures or treatments on the same day if that is your preference.

We aim to contact all new referrals within 24 working hours and us receiving a referral request.

We aim to offer an appointment within a maximum of 2 weeks from first contact however most referrals are seen within 1 week.

If we are experiencing busy periods, we will inform our referring practices in order to keep you informed.
