Integrative Oncology for Pets: Comprehensive Cancer Care for Dogs and Cats

At Arya Animal Acupuncture, we understand how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be for your beloved pet. That’s why we offer Integrative Oncology, a holistic and evidence-based approach to cancer care that combines conventional treatments with complementary therapies. Our goal is to enhance your pet’s quality of life, manage symptoms, and support their natural healing abilities throughout their cancer journey.

What Is Integrative Oncology?

Integrative Oncology is a patient-centered field that blends traditional cancer treatments—such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation—with complementary therapies. These therapies are designed to reduce side effects, improve well-being, and optimize clinical outcomes. Unlike alternative medicine, which replaces conventional treatments, integrative oncology works alongside them to provide a comprehensive care plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Our Approach to Integrative Oncology

At Arya Animal Acupuncture, we take a personalized approach to cancer care for pets. We collaborate with your primary veterinarian or oncologist to create a treatment plan that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of cancer. Our services include:

1. Conventional Cancer Treatments

We work in conjunction with traditional veterinary oncology treatments like:

Surgery to remove tumors
Chemotherapy to target cancer cells
Radiation therapy for localized treatment

2. Complementary Therapies

Our integrative services focus on improving your pet’s overall health and comfort:

Acupuncture: Helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve energy flow.
Herbal Medicine: Natural supplements like medicinal mushrooms or turmeric support immune function and combat inflammation.
Dietary Support: Customized nutrition plans designed to strengthen immunity and provide essential nutrients.
Massage Therapy: Relieves stress, improves circulation, and supports lymphatic drainage.

Advanced Therapies We Offer

In addition to conventional and basic complementary treatments, Dr. Bhatt specializes in advanced therapies that have shown promise in managing cancer in pets:

Mistletoe extract is used as an injectable therapy to:

Stimulate the immune system

This therapy is especially beneficial for pets undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.

Pain relief

Selectively target cancer cells
