The Oncology Service (TOS) is a multi-facility small animal oncology practice. At TOS we believe that the diagnosis of cancer in a pet is not the end but rather the beginning of an opportunity to identify solutions that can improve that pet’s quality of life while maximizing the time they have with their families.
