Cancer
By Bonnie Beucler

Cancer is the one disease that we all dread, for ourselves and for our pets. There are several kinds, as you all know and there are many methods of treatment. There are many animal oncologists now and chemo for our pets has become a normal thing. The decision to treat holistically or traditionally is, like everything else, a very personal and individual one and it sure wouldn't be up to me to tell anyone which to pursue.

Cancer is thought to be around the corner in all things we do and feed. If we are very observant and take all things in the pets' environment, perhaps we can bring down the astonishingly high numbers of pets with cancer.
It is thought that generations of kibble have in some way contributed to this out break. Perhaps. But then again,
maybe we are hearing more about it because we have lists like Wellpet where we have been put in touch with others who are going through what we are going through. The breeders who keep good records can probably
help us here……

I do not pretend to know all the answers and I wouldn't paraphrase someone else either. Lew Olson has a cancer diet on her web-site, and many others do too……all I can say is that I have seen a lot of very sound advice on the subject on Wellpet and I think that those who have gone through the ordeal with one of their animals, can help teach others.
