Thank You For Visiting Our Canine Cancer Forum
Our forum is dedicated to discussions and stories surrounding canine cancer and to all those who are, or have, coped with the disease. We understand first hand how shocking and scary it can be to hear this kind of news.
We were devastated to hear that our happy, easy going yellow lab "Lulu" had cancer (this is Lulu in the picture). We "couldn't believe it". "How could this be"? She plays, she's happy all the time - we just didn't get it.
It's a very valuable lesson for us that canines are masters at hiding how they really feel! Unfortunately, canine cancer is on the rise and more and more dogs are being diagnosed every year, leaving dog owners feeling completely helpless. Some veterinarians believe the numbers are in epidemic proportions.
Because we have gone through this shock more than once in our thirty five years of dog ownership and experienced the feeling of dread that comes with this diagnosis, we wanted to create a place specifically for other dog owners in need of support. A comforting forum to find vital information, tips and the much needed help to get through these very hard times.
Paying It Forward and Helping Others Cope
We hope to grow a family of pet lovers who care enough to take a minute out of their busy day to listen and respond to someone who is hurting and needs a hand. An online neighborhood to find vital tips on cancer diets for dogs, necessary supplements and any other treatments that may make a difference in this disease. Your story IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE SHARE IT with us here on our canine cancer forum.. Positive stories build confidence for those who need it most right now.
We know all too well that feeling of uncertainty and the stress that comes along with it, but we also know that a diagnosis of cancer isn't always an immediate death sentence. Don't give up on your friend without a fight!
Although you might not know them;
you have friends who care about
what you're going through right now.
