Owning a pet can be a fulfilling and rewarding experience. But the benefits of pet ownership come with responsibilities – especially if your pet is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease like cancer.

On this episode of HUJI Bites, we speak with Dr. Gillian Dank, a board-certified veterinary oncologist and senior lecturer at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine – Israel’s only veterinary school. She established the Oncology Department at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital where students and researchers are finding the best treatment and care for our animal companions.
