5 Ways to Reduce Your Pet's Cancer Risk
Cancer is the No. 1 cause of death in adult dogs, but little guidance exists on the optimal time to begin cancer screenings in canines. Typically, cancer screening occurs at your pet’s annual wellness visits, when your veterinarian should check for any unusual lumps or growths and conduct certain blood and urine tests.
To find out the optimal age to initiate cancer screening in dogs, researchers analyzed data from 3,452 dogs with cancer.
The median age at cancer diagnosis was 8.8 years.
Males tended to be diagnosed at younger ages than females, and neutered dogs tended to be diagnosed when they were significantly older than intact dogs.
Weight was inversely associated with age at cancer diagnosis, so the heavier the dog, the earlier they were diagnosed.
The team suggested starting cancer screening for all dogs at 7 years, but starting at age 4 for dog breeds that tend to be diagnosed at an earlier age.
