Care of your pets when you have cancer

This information is for people with cancer who may be worried about the care of their pet if they have to go into hospital for treatment, or if they are no longer able to look after their pet for any reason. We hope that it will answer any questions you may have and help you to find the right support. If you have any further questions you can speak to one of our cancer support service nurses.
