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. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net
    from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the
    expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching
    to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

  2. I know this web site offers quality dependent content and extra stuff, is there any
    other web site which offers these kinds of things in quality?

  3. Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
