10 Dog Breeds With The Highest Cancer Rates (2021)

Did you know… Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs!? Estimates show that nearly 1 in 3 domestic dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime. Dogs can develop an array of cancers just like humans.

What’s even worse is that selective breeding of dogs, has led certain pure-bred breeds to be at high-risk for specific kinds of cancer. Here are 10 dog breeds that are considered high risk for cancer diagnosis.

10. Boxers

Boxers are at a very high risk for several types of cancer, including brain tumors, lymphomas, mast cell tumors, and skin hemangiosarcoma. One of the most common cancer diagnosis is mast cell tumors.

They are a very common type of skin tumor in dogs, and boxers are more prone to them than are many other breeds. Boxers tend to have less aggressive mast cell tumors. Catching this early can often be treated with just surgery.

  1. Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other sites?
    I have a blog based upon on the same subjects
    you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know
    my viewers would value your work. If you’re even remotely interested,
    feel free to send me an email.

  2. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance”
    between user friendliness and visual appearance.
    I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer.
    Superb Blog!

  3. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
