Chemotherapy is very well tolerated in most dogs and cats. Most patients experience no side effects. Around 15% will have mild side effects that will last for a few days and many will improve on their own. About 5% of patients can experience more moderate side effects and less than 1% can have more severe/fatal side effects. Cats tend to tolerate chemotherapy even better than dogs, and both tend to handle chemotherapy better than people.
How do they assess how a pet tolerates chemo? Not like they express themselves as we do, let alone fill out quality-of-life questionnaires. Can’t speak to dogs, but cats tend to hide their suffering until it’s too late.
