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. Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know
    your situation; many of us have created some nice procedures and
    we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, please shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  2. Greetings from California! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check
    out your site on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the info
    you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get
    home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my
    mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow,
    good blog!

  3. I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth
    enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  4. I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.
    Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
    Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is
    rare to see a nice blog like this one today.
