Eddie is a lovable 10 year old grown up puppy! Ever since he was rescued, he keeps a big smile on his adorable face, enjoying the little things in life without a care in the world. He’s come a long way from his struggle with immobility and arthritis, but it wasn’t an easy road. Eddie found his legs again with the help of some special herbal products.

Whether due to UV ray exposure or other factors, dogs are susceptible to skin cancer. While cancer of any type is terrifying to most pet parents, in the case of canine skin cancer, the condition is often easier to identify and to treat before it becomes much more serious.

One problem many cat owners are used to hearing about is excessive weight gain in their furry friends, largely due to overfeeding. But on the flip side, unexplained weight loss can be just as big of a problem. If your kitty is losing weight without being on a diet, it’s usually a sign of an underlying health issue.

Over the course of their lives, most cats are given a number of important injections. Vaccines are some of the most common, but our furry friends might also be injected with antibiotics, steroids and microchips—all of which have potentially life-saving benefits. Unfortunately, in rare cases, these injections may lead to a serious health problem: cancer.

Before you go outside in the sun, you probably put on sunscreen or wear protective clothing to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. But have you ever thought about providing the same preventative care to your cats?

Cancer is one disease that’s not very well understood—both in humans and in our pets. Although experts have successfully identified many aspects of cancer, such as its different forms, its symptoms and the treatments that may prolong your furry friend’s life, there are many questions about cancer that remain unanswered. One of these questions is, “What causes cancer in cats?”

Cancer is one of the scariest health problems to affect our furry friends. Not only is it often life threatening, but it’s also difficult to spot until it’s spread or worsened. One of the reasons for this is that every type of cancer acts and presents a little differently and can sometimes masquerade as a different type of health problem. Such is the case with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), or bladder cancer, in dogs.

In early 2019, Flash the 10 year old Jack Russell terrier was given two months to live. Before then, this active and energetic pup lived up to his name. When he wasn’t going for a walk, swimming, or playing tug of war, Flash was exercising his mind retrieving his toys one by one on command. His tragic diagnosis slowed his lightning fast nature nearly to nothing, but thankfully not for long!

Any cancer diagnosis is scary and heartbreaking for a pet owner to receive, but one of the worst is canine hemangiosarcoma. This extremely aggressive disease has a rapid onset and can cause problems without much warning. By staying informed, dog owners may have a better chance at identifying this form of cancer in their pups and seeking the help they need faster.
