Over 6 million dogs per year are diagnosed with cancer in the US alone. Of those dogs diagnosed with cancer, dogs over the age of 10 make up over 50% of them. It’s the epidemic nobody wants to talk about. Even vets do not discuss the cause although pesticide use has been linked to causes of cancer in dogs, including lymphoma, leukemia, mast cell tumours, osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, melanoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.
Please write to your member of parliament, councillors, trustee or mayor urging them to introduce legislation to ban pesticide use in your community. Save our furry friends from this horrible disease.
