Pets and humans have more in common than you think. They form strong bonds with other pets and humans. They have personal preferences when it comes to toys and food. They can appreciate the simple joy of doing nothing all day. And just like us, our pets can also get cancer.
This isn’t just a terrifying idea but a very harsh – and very common – reality. One in five cats will develop cancer during their lifetime, while one in four dogs will go through the same ordeal. This means that dogs get cancer at roughly the same rate that humans do. In fact, in the U.S. alone, cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among dogs. But regardless of whether you have a dog or cat, there’s a high chance that they can get skin cancer, bladder cancer, bone cancer, or lymphoma, just like we do.
If your pet exhibits any of the following signs, then they may have the big C:
- Abnormal discharge, like pus or blood
- Bathroom habit changes
- Bloated abdomen
- Bumps and lumps
- Coughing
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Limping
- Loss of appetite
- Non-healing sores and wounds
- Offensive body odors
- Sudden weight loss
Luckily, pets have access to many of the same treatment options available to humans — yes, even the organic ones. That’s another truth. Or rather, The Truth About Pet Cancer. (MORE)
