      HI there.
      Actually the current treatment options like surgery, chemo, and radiation that are used for humans can also be used for animals.
      There are actually dedicated Linear accelerators in several countries for the treatment of cancer in animals. And the cure rate is good.

      And to really answer your question about finding a cure for cancer in animals, I believe just like humans, animal cancer is also very complex and needs a lot of research to really find cure for all types of cancer.
      But I am a believer that if we find cure for humans then we wont be too far off for animals. 🙂
