Dogs are People Too

Dogs are People Too

The cancer rate in dogs is rising at the same rate as people. According to PetInfo.com cancer remains one of the most treatable diseases for your pet if detected early enough. As with humans, cancer is thought to be spreading in our pets due to lack of nutrition and the bombardment of free radicals.

To combat this condition in our dogs there are two companies offering prevention and cures for pet cancers both centered on nutrition.

PetIntact.com have just released their new vitamins for both cats and dogs which they claim will improve your pets protection against disease such as cancer, much the same way as humans take anti-oxidants.

Allergicpet.com offer a range of herbal remedies for those infected with the disease and also some safer alternatives to flea and tick rinses which have been reported to be connected with cancers in dogs particularly, not because of the flea treatment itself, but because of the shampoo it is contained in.
