4-Legger's Mission to Give Every Dog a Healthy Bath
When my dog, Henry Clay was diagnosed with penile cancer from exposure to environmental toxins, we made changes to reduce his exposure to toxins. Unfortunately, just a few years later his cancer came back as a brain stem tumor and he died on the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Canine Cancer Awareness Month serves as a crucial reminder to raise awareness about this horrible disease and explore prevention.
Let's delve deeper into Canine Cancer Awareness Month and discover how 4-Legger's commitment to pet health makes a significant difference.
Understanding Canine Cancer
Cancer is a heartbreaking reality that affects dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes.
According to the National Institute of Health, over 1.66 million humans (approx. 500/100 000 population rate) and over 4.2 million dogs (approx. 5300/100 000 population rate) are diagnosed with cancer annually in the USA. That means dogs are diagnosed with cancer at 5x the rate of humans.
It can manifest in various forms, including skin cancer, bone cancer, lymphoma, respiratory cancer, and more.
The impact of this disease on our furry family members is profound, causing pain, discomfort, and sometimes fatal consequences.
By observing Canine Cancer Month, we shed light on the importance of early detection and prevention strategies.
The Role of Bathing in Canine Health
Bathing plays a vital role in your dog's health.
While you give your dog a bath, it is the perfect time to do a full body check for lumps or bumps that can be evaluated by your veterinarian.
Additionally, clean and healthy skin serves as a barrier against external factors that may contribute to the development of cancerous cells or other diseases.
The products that you select to use on your dog or cat are also incredibly important for long term health. Many grooming products contain ingredients with links to allergies, endocrine disruption, organ toxicity, and cancer.
