Ward for canine cancer patients

A new dog ward for canine cancer patients has been officially opened at the University's Hospital for Small Animals by Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal. The canine oncology support ward at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies has been created as, like humans, dogs are living longer due to improvements in treatments. As such they have more chance of being diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The ward has been supported with funds from the Kennel Club Charitable Trust. This is an opportunity for the dog world to put something back to help with the excellent service and treatment that animals receive here.
