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 ...
Aims of CAP:
- To support and promote the great work that vets and nurses in first opinion veterinary practices are doing to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer in our pets
- To provide support for veterinary staff and pet owners
