A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, especially when families must wait weeks or even months to meet with a veterinary oncology specialist.
Fox Run Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer veterinary oncology services in partnership with MOVES. Dr. Jennifer Arthur and registered veterinary technician Elsa Morales provide advanced cancer care within our hospital, allowing pets to receive specialized treatment in a familiar, comfortable environment.

Each treatment plan is based on the pet’s diagnosis, overall health, comfort, and the family’s goals.
What Is Electrochemotherapy?
Electrochemotherapy, also called ECT, combines a small dose of chemotherapy with targeted electrical pulses. These pulses help the medication enter cancer cells more effectively.
ECT may be an option for certain tumors, including some soft tissue sarcomas, mast cell tumors, and oral tumors. Depending on the individual case, it may be considered when surgery or traditional radiation therapy is not the best option.
Dr. Arthur will determine whether electrochemotherapy is appropriate based on the type and location of the tumor, previous treatments, and your pet’s overall health.
What Happens During an Oncology Consultation?
An oncology consultation gives you dedicated time with a specialist to better understand your pet’s diagnosis and the options available. Your appointment may include a discussion of:
The type, stage, and grade of your pet’s cancer
Recommended diagnostic testing
Available treatment options
Supportive or palliative care
Prognosis
Possible treatment side effects
Quality-of-life considerations
Scheduling a consultation does not commit you to chemotherapy or another form of treatment. The goal is to give you clear information, answer your questions, and help you make an informed decision for your pet and your family.
Specialized Cancer Care in a Familiar Place
Receiving oncology care at Fox Run means your pet can remain in a hospital they already know, surrounded by a team that understands their history and cares about their comfort.
It also allows the Fox Run team and oncology specialist to work together throughout your pet’s care, from the initial consultation through treatment and ongoing support.
