Pet Cancer Awareness

Hey Folks!

Although November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month within the United States, lets make pet cancer awareness a 24/7 habit in all places around the world to keep pets healthy as possible!

Pet cancer is a number-one disease related killer of dogs. Some of the very common cancerous conditions include:

• Lymphosarcoma or Lymphoma
• Skin Cancer
• Bladder Cancer
• Brain or Spinal Cord Cancer
• Liver (Hepatic) Cancer
• Bone or Joint Cancer

Bet sure to detect any cancer early. Be attentive to any growing lumps or sores that do not heal. Monitor your pets and take notice if they have: drastic changes in appetite or weight, any unusual strong odors coming from their body, discharge or bleeding from any body opening, difficulty chewing or swallowing.

In terms what pets should eat, a nutritious cancer-fighting diet will include low carbohydrates and lots of Omega -3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in the form oils including fish, flax seed, cod liver, salmon, and olive.




Nutrition Ideas For Dogs With Cancer

November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month

Nutrition for Dogs with Colitis

Colitis affecting your dogs health ? 

Here are some helpful suggestions: 

Dietary changes often can help ease the symptoms of colitis. Most dogs with colitis respond well to increased levels of dietary fiber and/or a hypoallergenic diet. Many dogs with colitis also seem to better tolerate foods that are lower in fat. When trying a new food make sure that you don’t feed anything else to your dog during the trial period (no treats!) and give the diet three to six weeks to see if there is improvement (remember, the improvement won’t be immediate and in some cases your dog’s diarrhea can even worsen in the initial stages of the switch as the dog is becoming accustomed to the new food).
