May is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month!

May is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month!





*The cause of cancer in pets, just as with people, is largely unknown, although animals get cancer at about the same rate as humans! In fact, The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation has noted that 50% of dogs aged 10 or older will be affected by cancer.

  
Thus, in a continued effort to battle and treat pet cancer, Cornell University Veterinary Specialists is proud to  welcome Dr. John Farrelly, a long-standing leader in the field of oncology, to our team!


Dr. Farrelly, a Diplomate of both the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, is approximately 1 in 25 veterinarians in the country who are board-certified in both medical and radiation oncology.


He was the Director of Radiation Oncology at the Animal Medical Center in New York City from 2004 to 2011. Named Veterinarian of the Year at the AMC in 2006, Dr. Farrelly brings an expertise and renown to Cornell University Veterinary Specialists that gives us the ability to provide the most advanced care and treatment options available.

We are very excited to welcome Dr. Farrelly to the team here at CUVS!
