Cancer Alert Practice (CAP) Campaign for Veterinary Practices

Pets are valued and much-loved members of any household and finding out your pet may have cancer can be extremely stressful for everyone involved.

The Cancer Alert Practice (CAP) is a UK-wide programme developed by the Animal Cancer Trust designed to help support owners whose pets have recently been diagnosed with cancer by creating a resource assisting them to identify first opinion veterinary practices that have an interest and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Owners: Please ask your veterinary practice if they have heard about the CAP campaign.

Vet Practices: Please read on below to learn more ...
