About cancer in companion animals
Did you know that our companion animals are afflicted by cancer as often as humans?
Dogs and cats share not only our living environment but also our lifestyle. Because of this they are exposed to the same risk factors for cancer. The good news is that veterinary medicine is improving. And early detection together with monitored treatments are key to a successful outcome.
Wouldn’t you want to know?
Dogs can’t talk in our language, but through barking, wagging, and soulful eyes. Yet even the most attentive owner cannot detect cancer in a dog that can’t express pain or discomfort.
When should you test?
All dogs should be screened for cancer from the age of 6 with a routine blood test. Larger and older dogs, and certain breeds, are at higher risk.
High-risk breeds should be tested annually from the age of 4.
Our vision is to make blood testing a standard part of regular health check-ups.
Symptoms to watch for:
Weight loss
Fatigue
Lumps or swelling
Unexplained pain
Loss of appetite
Non-healing wounds
Unusual odor
Abnormal discharge
Can I prevent my dog from getting cancer?
There’s no definitive answer. Some factors seem to increase cancer risk, and some breeds are more prone to certain types.
Large dogs are more at risk. Spaying a female dog before age two may reduce the risk of mammary tumors.
Diet and lifestyle links to cancer remain unclear, but early detection through blood testing can save lives.
PrediPet® helps dog owners make informed decisions about their pet’s health and treatments.
