Dog Cancer

Cancer is the cause of death of more than half the dogs over the age of 10. Cancer (neoplasia) is a transformation of normal cells into abnormal malignant cells, and it can take many forms. Some involve solid masses, or tumors, while others involve the blood or bone marrow in leukemia. The disease can develop in virtually any organ or body system of your dog. While there are many similarities in human and canine cancers, research on causes and treatments as one would suspect is primarily focused on humans. As a result organizations such as VitaHound have taken on the duty of providing strategies owners should take to avoid dog cancer and we now believe our extensive research will allow us to provide specific ideas on prevention. Specific ideas for prevention of disease are essential to dog health, given that restoring a dog’s health after a disease has invaded their body presents barriers, both financial and quality of options. Veterinarians approach health care as do traditional doctors with very little emphasis on prevention. A vet can receive between $1500.00 and $5,000.00 dollars for an operation to remove a tumor with very little liability if the surgery yields any benefit to the dog’s health. Therefore it is imperative for owners to explore actionable diet and exercise regimens. Make use of the philosophy that learning to live according to the laws of nature of all living things allows the vital force of the planet to benefit an animal’s well being. The more an animal attempts to live outside nature’s natural force the more damage is done. Modern naturopathic, holistic, and biomedical research is allowing the identification of nutrients and the optimizing of how those nutrients are consumed (eg. Vitamin B12) to benefit a dog’s health. The synergies between nature’s vital forces and the modern scientific ability to maximize the ingredients in those forces, makes it possible to crowd out disease. This approach makes a lot of sense where the cause of a chronic disease is still unknown, as is the case with many cancers. A dog’s digestive system relies on digestive enzymes to function properly, biochemistry has identified highly effective enzymes that form the different bacteria needed to assimilate vital nutrients from the food we feed our dogs.
