Consult Service

At the Colorado State University Animal Cancer Center we offer a consult service. This service is free of charge. Pet owners and referring veterinarians are welcome to submit their questions to obtain general information regarding cancer in animals or clinical trials available. Please fill out either the pet owner or veterinarian consulting form. Your consult will then be directed to an appropriate oncology clinician. Requests are typically returned within 2 business days.

To Make an Oncology Appointment
If you would like to schedule an appointment with the oncology service to have your pet examined and create a treatment plan please call (970) 297-5000. Pet owners as well as veterinarians can make appointments. Pet owners do not need a referral from their regular veterinarian to make the appointment.

The fee for the initial visit for new patients is $123.00. This fee includes the physical exam, review of information you bring from your veterinarian, treatment options and detailed financial estimates for diagnostics and treatment. Please visit our appointment section for more information.

The Consult Service at the Animal Cancer Center is an important outreach effort to help both pet owners and veterinarians all over the US and sometimes from other countries as well. In fact, we answer approximately 3000 such calls on an annual basis! We do not charge for this service but are appreciative of the donations that help to sustain this valuable program. In 2010, Linda and Brian Pardo, wanted to make a gift to help support this service as it helped several of their personal dogs and dogs who are housed at their rescue in Texas called Happy Endings Dog Rescue. This gift has established Carmen’s Fund in memory of Carmen, one of their dogs who was helped by the consult service initially and then came to CSU for treatment for her cancer.
