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. Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d
    like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over
    time.

  2. Hello there I am so glad I found your web site, I really found you
    by mistake, while I was researching on Google for something else, Regardless I am
    here now and would just like to say many thanks for
    a incredible post and a all round enjoyable blog (I also love
    the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have book-marked
    it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the fantastic work.

  3. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my
    comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that
    over again. Regardless, just wanted to say
    excellent blog!

  4. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering
    what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having
    a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would
    be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  5. Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday.
    It will always be helpful to read through content from other
    writers and use something from other sites.
