My rescue dog, Coco was diagnosed with a TVT cancer. The staff at Southwest was incredible. Dr. Wood and all the techs treated Coco like a princess. I am so blessed.

I can’t thank Dr. Klein, Dr. Wood, Nick, Kyle and all the staff enough for taking such good care of River and making our difficult time easier. Thank you for answering my hundreds of questions and for all that you do.
River
Bran was in very good hands here. Everybody was so nice and loving towards him. I’m so happy that he’s okay and healthy and I couldn’t have done it without Southwest Veterinary Oncology on Ft. Lowell.
