A new study, Mastiff, St. Bernard has found that Great Danes and Bulldogs can be prone to early cancer, so they probably need to be examined more closely when young. Veterinary oncologist Dmitry Trofimtsov told socialbites.ca about this.
US scientists have found that some dogs get cancer at an earlier age. Early cancer occurs in dogs over 75 kilograms, non-neutered, males and mastiffs, St. It has been found in some breeds including Bernards, Great Danes and bulldogs.
“It should be emphasized that the article does not mention a higher incidence of cancer in different races. Scientists focused on the exact age of emergence. The authors’ point of view is that some animals should be examined early,” says veterinary oncologist Dmitry Trofimtsov.
In addition to the risk factors listed in the article, exposure to tobacco smoke and obesity can also increase the risk of cancer in dogs, Trofimtsov said.
