www.barkandwhiskers.com/how-to-protect-dogs-from-tumorStory at-a-glance Cancer is far too common in dogs today, especially large and giant breeds/breed mixes, and purebreds While it’s not possible to alter your dog’s genetics, the good news is there are many things you can do to help your furry family member avoid cancer Keeping your dog slim and trim, feeding an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing toxin exposure, picking the right time to sterilize, and avoiding unnecessary vaccinations are my top five recommendations Additional suggestions include customizing prevention around your dog’s unique risks, including protecting your dog from sunburn, neutering a male dog with an undescended testicle(s), and keeping an eye out for classic signs of canine cancer My notes: Just like with humans, we can decrease our risks of dis ease by following guidelines that encourage us to be holistic & natural.

Give them organic food. Not that cheap crap.

Give them good pet food, not human food. Seems like if you feed them anything too unhealthy or meant for humans it could lead to sickness.

www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-12-29-dogs-mammary-tumorsStory at-a-glance A 2019 Penn Vet study raised as-yet unanswered questions about the role of spaying and estrogen levels in dogs who develop mammary tumors Estrogen appears to drive mammary cancer development; it also appears to have a protective effect with regard to metastasis and survival times The ability to effectively metabolize estrogen is essential in preventing certain cancers, including mammary tumors; estrogen-mimicking chemicals in the environment — xenoestrogens — can be the culprit in dogs with excessively high serum estrogen levels There are many things pet parents can do to limit their dog’s exposure to xenoestrogens and reduce the risk for mammary cancer My notes: There are pros & cons to spay (& neuter). Humans are not responsible enough to not keep their intact pet at home to avoid unwanted pregnancies. I wonder why they couldn't give Progesterone to help balance out Estrogen like they do in us women? Bob, demonskeith,
