NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL PET CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death for domestic dogs and cats in the U.S. Spread the word to help educate pet owners on how to protect furry family members.

We love our pets like family and do our best to keep them healthy. Cancer in animals continues to increase over the years, but there are advances in care when it comes to early detection and treatment.

* 9 Common Types of Pet Cancer: Lymphoma, Splenic (spleen), Bone or joint, Hepatic (liver), Thoracic (chest), Bladder, A**l sac, Oral, Brain or spinal cord cancer.
* 13 Warning Signs of Pet Cancer: Loss of appetite or difficulty eating, Rapid weight loss, Diarrhea and/or vomiting, Loss of interest in playing or exercising, Difficulty with stool or urination, or changes in stool frequency, Abnormal stiffness, Severe lethargy, Unusually strong/foul odors, Blood coming from mouth or re**um, Increased thirst and urination, Respiratory changes, Abnormally firm swelling, and Masses along jaw or tooth line.

If you have a cat or dog at home, consider scheduling them a medical appointment for a checkup, and keep your eyes open for warning signs. If you can catch cancer early enough, you may be able to save them.
