Canine Cancer

Cancer diagnosis and treatments for dogs are becoming increasingly common today. Chemotherapy is used in dog health care treatment.

Doctors have recommended the following guidelines to help prevent cancer in pets:

• Spaying or neutering dogs by 6 months of age.
• Limiting dogs' exposure to flea and tick dips, asbestos, and tobacco smoke.
• Keeping dogs off lawns that have been recently sprayed with herbicides.

Cancer medications for dogs include cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, piroxicam, and prednisone.
