Did You Know May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month?


Gear for Pets is in love with all animals especially those we are
lucky enough to call our pets. Unfortunately the plague we call cancer can infect our pets just like it can humans. May has become the official month for Pet Cancer Awareness. The month is used to educate pet owners on treatment options, up to the moment research, and ways to support pet cancer research.

Pet cancer is the number one killer of dogs and cats, so to help keep our furry friends alive Pet Cancer Awareness put together a list of early warning signs to watch for:

Swollen Lymph Nodes
An Enlarging or Changing Node
Abdominal Distension
Chronic Weight Loss
Chronic Vomiting or Diarrhea
Unexplained Bleeding
Cough
Lameness
Straining to Urinate
Oral Odors (caused by oral tumors)

These are some of the signs to watch for and if found arrange an appointment with your local veterinarian to have your pet checked out.

Want to help support Pet Cancer Awareness Month, join Blue Buffalo in the fight with Petco as they raise money this may and donate at any store or online so they can help over four pet cancer organizations for research and funds to help our pets have a fighting chance against cancer!
