If your dog is diagnosed with cancer, you might think chemo and radiation are the best treatment options.

👨‍⚕️ Veterinarian Ian Billinghurst warns that these invasive treatments may make your dog's last days miserable. Even worse, they can often do more harm than good.

👉 If you're considering chemotherapy or radiation for your dog, ask your vet these critical questions before you give your consent:

“Will the treatment you’re proposing lengthen my dog’s life?”

“Is this treatment likely to result in complete remission?”

“Will the treatment you’re proposing cause side effects? If so, what will they be and how long will they last?”

“How dangerous is this regime? What is the likelihood it will actually shorten my dog’s life or even kill my dog?”

“What will my dog’s quality of life be during treatment? What about after the treatment?”

“If my dog goes into remission and survives, what is the likelihood of permanent damage, and if so … what will that look like?”

“What will happen if we do nothing?”
