The presentation will explain the importance of preventative cancer recommendations for canine patients in the primary care setting. Several common canine cancers have been shown to be related to environmental chemical exposures. This presentation will identify specific environmental chemical exposures associated with specific cancers in dogs, or in people with analogous cancers.
Environmental prevention of bladder cancer and lymphoma in dogs
Bladder cancer and lymphoma have strong links to environmental chemical exposures in people, and we are finding that the same may be true for dogs. This session will present the evidence for specific chemical exposures and these cancers in dogs and provide practical recommendations to make to owners of high-risk breeds.
