It’s a fascinating story, but not one that is very rare. Cancer in dogs is the tenth leading cause of death among canines over the age of 10. The good news is that it can be treated when diagnosed during its early stages.

According to Dave Ruslander, a veterinary oncologist and a former president of the Veterinary Cancer Society, cancer has become pretty common among dogs of old age. 50% percent of dogs aged over ten years old can develop cancer. This is a high percentage stating half of the dogs in their senior years can have cancer. Like in humans, dogs develop the same symptoms like a development of the mass tumor, pain, and abnormal bleeding.

According to the Animal Cancer Foundation, a rough estimate of 6 million dogs are diagnosed yearly with cancer in the United States. About 1 in every 4 dogs will most likely develop a type of cancer tumor. This is a staggering discovery and as a dog owner, it made my knees weak. I cannot imagine my dogs having cancer, and them suffering because of it. I know they live a lot shorter than humans, but the thought of losing them because of this disease is unbearable.
