November: Pet Cancer Awareness Month

November 3rd, 2009 | by Sweetie The Papillion

Did you know that cancer is the number one killer in dogs over two years old? Although veterinarians don’t know why some dogs get cancer, here is a short list of some potential preventative tips to reduce the chances your pup will develop the deadly disease:

  • Schedule routine veterinary exams
  • While at the veterinary clinic, have your doctor suggest high-quality diets that don’t have chemicals and preservatives
  • If you have a backyard, limit your dog’s exposure to lawn pesticides
  • Stop smoking! Second hand smoking injures humans’ and canines’ delicate lungs
  • Spay or neuter your puppy by 6 months to reduce developing mammary or prostate cancer
