For pets, the frequency and duration of doses being used are completely different than what is used for chemotherapy in people. This results in better tolerability for pets going through chemotherapy. While pets may experience similar side effects as people, theses side effects are often less intense and often have a shorter duration than what is experienced in peoples.
