liantsim Northport, AL 3/16/2013 7:13:17 AM Such a great article with many great tips. Preventing cancer in my dog is something I think about frequently. Thankfully, I am already doing many of these things, including only giving my dog filtered water, but I will pay more attention to garden pesticides in the future.
Sarah - 243618 Port Charlotte, FL 12/6/2012 9:44:14 AM Another thing to consider to prevent cancer is diet. Closely check ingredients because many are harmful to our pets and are causing disease. A natural home made meal which you know what the ingredients are is a good start to preventing health problems. No colors, not artificial preservatives, no BHA or BHT, no prolyene glycol (not sure if spelt right). Be aware and be informed.

Marie Ogden, UT 1/17/2012 9:20:22 AM I didn't realize the water thing- Our dog drinks from the river while we are playing in the water. How many people can afford to give their dog bottled water on a daily basis? I like the filtered water idea.
Mags not-telling, KS 7/8/2011 10:19:46 AM People should try to prevent all diseases, especially one as serious as cancer, for their pets. We owe it to them!

Sue Cranston, RI 11/6/2010 4:42:51 PM My dog was diagnosed with Lymphoma almost three years ago. She was treated and has been in remission ever since. I practice all of the tips in this article religiously as well as limiting carbs as they support cancer. I also do not vaccinate my dogs other than the required vaccinations. Micro-chipping has also been know to leave cancerous tumors at the site. Thanks for the great info. We are proof that it works!

Kathy Johnston, IA 11/5/2010 9:53:34 AM Lawn chemicals also can be extremely dangerous as dogs sniff the grass, lick it and sometimes eat grass. I truly believe that our almost 2-year-old chocolate Lab died from such exposure
Teresa Toronto, ON 11/5/2010 9:29:40 AM What about avoiding all the processed dog food full of additives, including things we wouldn't feed our children because they are known to cause cancer. Why does dog food need food coloring added to it ? My rule is...If I don't know what it is I am not eating it and neither are my dogs!!
