Did you know cancer is the No.1 natural cause of death in geriatric cats and dogs? Cancer accounts for nearly 50% of pet deaths each year. As with human healthcare, advanced research is bringing amazing advances to the fight against cancer in pets.
The Animal Cancer Foundation is currently working to develop and support research that advances the prevention and treatment of cancer for pets. Specifically, their endeavors focus on furthering research in comparative oncology, which is the study of cancers that occur similarly in both pets and humans. In this way, ACF is committed to advancing the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of such cancers, and becoming a preeminent resource in educating the public and scientific community.
You can help by sponsoring an ACF special event, make a dedication in memory of a beloved pet, volunteer your services or simply make the donation you can afford. You may also want to purchase a copy of Josée Clerens and John Clifton’s inspiring book, “Sparky Fights Back, A Little Dog’s Big Battle Against Cancer”, or buy a Pet4Pets cancer awareness collar and matching wristband at www.pet4pets.com. A portion of your Pet4Pets purchase will support the search for new, more effective cures for cancer in pets, and in people.
Someday soon, new therapies may provide your pet with a high quality of life for years to come!
