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!
