• Preventing cancer or detecting it early are the keys to your pets' health.

• Your pet should receive regular checkups from your veterinarian, and you also should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of cancer.

• Cancer treatments available include surgery to remove localized tumors, chemotherapy for treating cancers that have begun to spread, and radiation therapy.

Companion Animal Fund [3.4 MB]

• A gift to the Companion Animal Fund in memory of a beloved pet is a thoughtful, much appreciated way of remembering a faithful companion and its owner. It also is an effective way of ensuring a brighter, healthier future for all companion animals.
