Cancer, the dreaded 'C-word,' casts a long shadow not only over human lives but also our beloved canine and feline companions. As veterinarians, it's our duty to stay vigilant in the fight against this formidable adversary. Pet Cancer Awareness Month serves as a poignant reminder of the relentless challenges posed by cancer in the animal world. According to estimates, nearly half of dogs over the age of 10 are likely to develop cancer at some point in their lives. With such staggering statistics, the significance of Pet Cancer Awareness Month cannot be overstated.
