Dr. Alice Villalobos is a respected/ well-known pioneer in the field of cancer care for companion animals, and a founding member of the Veterinary Cancer Society. She authors "The Bond and Beyond" (a column in Vet Practice News), is the national spokesperson for Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and is the consulting oncologist for Dog Talk and Cat Chat Radio.
Currently, Dr. Alice focuses a great deal of her time on “Pawspice”,
the animal equivalent of hospice.This has become a viable alternative when pet owners are coping with the
problems and pain of their terminally ill pets.
“If the owner really feels that their pet still has a quality of life, in-home
Pawspice care is a wonderful next step, and should be introduced as an interval
between the thought and the final act of euthanasia."
