Viscum album (Mistletoe) has been employed in complementary cancer care for over a century, having considerable positive impacts on quality of life, tolerance towards conventional therapies, immune function, and overall survival. Its usage is applicable at any point along the cancer journey, ranging from post-surgical to palliative care. The utilization of mistletoe in dogs, cats, and horses has experienced rapid growth in Europe over the last 25 years and is now gaining popularity in North America and other countries. Being both effective and safe, Viscum album should be considered as a primary therapy in integrative veterinary oncology.
