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. Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and
    i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback?
    If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?

    I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  2. I blog frequently and I genuinely thank you for your information.
    This great article has really peaked my interest. I am going to take
    a note of your blog and keep checking for new information about
    once a week. I subscribed to your RSS feed as well.

  3. I visit everyday a few web pages and information sites to read articles or reviews, except
    this website presents quality based writing.

  4. I do believe all the concepts you have introduced in your post.
    They are really convincing and will certainly work.
    Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for novices. May you please lengthen them a
    bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

  5. Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few
    of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not
    sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different
    web browsers and both show the same results.
