It’s that special day of the month and time to do a Nose to tail exam for lumps and bumps on your bestest pals. Here’s a little back story to why we ask you all to do this on the 14th of the month. Today is a very special day in my life “Chase” was born 26 years ago today back in 1999 ❤️❤️❤️ I still miss her every minute of everyday, sharing our lives for just 6 short years together was not nearly enough 🐾❤️🐾

Sadly cancer affects 1 in 3 dogs and after the age of 10 those odds change to 1 in 2. Being vigilant and doing this check on a monthly bases and knowing all your pups lumps and bumps can truly save their life, the odds are so much better to treat and remove cancer from our pets if caught early.

Terry and I were remembering where we were 26 years ago today, we were on holiday in Whistler BC playing with Smokey on Dog Beach and we didn’t find out that the puppies had arrived till two days later. Now when I think about that trip it feels like a lifetime ago, but when we speak of Chase it doesn’t seem like that long ago. My heart will forever hurt from losing her so young.

Thank you to everyone that continues to honor their lost loved ones by helping to raise K9 cancer awareness and by raising donations so we can continue to help fund K9 cancer studies so we can help our pets live longer and healthier lives.

I share these posts each month, praying that if anyone’s pets do have cancer thru this monthly check it’s been found early enough for them to get treatment and given more time with their families. It’s been 2 years now since I found the lump on Olie’s thigh and in turn that helped his oncologist find the tumor he had growing in his lung which we had that portion removed. I am so thankful that he is still here sharing his life with Terry, Score and I and I pray that he continues to live life to the fullest. Both he and Score will get a thorough checking over today and on the 14th of every month.

So please spend 10 minutes of your day giving your dog some extra special love and attention by giving them a complete nose to tail exam for lumps and bumps and anything out of the ordinary. Make notes, keep track of anything out of the norm. If in doubt as Dr Sue Cancer Vet says don't wait aspirate, if cancer is found in it's early stages you have a much better chance of kicking cancers ass. please share and cross post, raising K9 cancer awareness is priceless if the pup you save is your own. Be Your Dogs Hero !!! ❤ ❤

Cancer is a leading cause of disease-related death in older pets. Just as in humans, early detection can make the difference in treatment options and outcomes. Regular health exams—at least once per year for younger pets and twice per year for pets over 7—can help detect issues while still in the early stages, improving treatment options for your pet.

Your observations of your pet's behavior and health are also important. Do not automatically assume your pet has cancer if they show some of these signs! Symptoms such as bad breath and weight loss can be signs of other health problems, too. That's why it's best to have your pet seen by its veterinarian.

When in doubt, check it out.

Signs to Watch For
* Swelling or changing lumps or bumps — check your pet once per month
* Bad breath or bad smell coming from the body
* Weight loss or gain without diet changes
* Change in appetite
* Bleeding or discharge from anywhere on the body
* Sores that are not healing
* Difficulty or changes in urination or defecation
* Loss of energy
* Lameness or stiffness
* Difficulty breathing, chewing or swallowing

A genetically engineered drug shown to extend the life of dogs with hemangiosarcoma may also prove effective as an early screening test for the lethal cancer.

Stay safe this summer and please pay extra attention when letting your pets out in dangerous conditions.

It's the first day of summer, and, unfortunately, wildfire season in Oregon has already started. Health advisories for air quality also apply to animals. Birds are particularly susceptible to particulates in the air.

If you need to evacuate, take your pets. Plan ahead for equine and livestock evacuation as much as possible. An evacuation order may come while you are away from home. If possible, make arrangements in advance for a trusted neighbor to evacuate your pets with them. Have a go bag for every person in your home and one for your pets.
