Why Are So Many Animals Getting Cancer

Our two dogs went back to their maker this year. The one of the left Monty had a brain aneurysm, and had to be put to sleep after he started having frequent massive seizures. Boots on the R was put to sleep almost 3 months to the day after her companion. She was a year and a half younger. They lived a long full life, but why did their end have so many problems. Boots developed a liver cancer. It was not detected till the day of her death. Why because I had her on a supplement that kills abnormal cells, and I had taken her off it after she developed diarrhea. It took about 10 days for her to deteriorate. I am sure the loss of her companion did not help. He was nearly 13 and she 11.5 years.

These animals are just 2 of thousands who have come down with cancer or other severe maladies, that we never used to see in animals. Those dying of cancer 20 years ago were few and far between. I am a cancer survivor and I blog/chat on Cancer Compass each week. Where there used to be one or two postings for pets, even 5 years ago, now there are dozens and maybe hundreds. From Brain tumors, to Liver to Kidney and blood dyscrasias, the are becoming more and more prevalent.

I truly believe the ingredients in the food of these animals is being contaminated. 3 years ago we found out that China was putting chemicals into the dog food and thousands of dogs died. Both dogs had a small dose of that contaminated food and who knows what their future would have been if that had not happened. Unfortunately Monty was poisoned accidently, along with my husband, 8 years ago. He went blind. My husband had to have drastic measures to detoxify his system. (He spilled a garden poison and he and the dog absorbed some of it) Both were cured by huge doses of natural supplements and Monty regained his sight and vigor..I am sure this did not help him.

These dogs had wholesome food as well, oatmeal, brown rice, organic meat, organic chicken. As I was ill for a long time I could not always give them the natural food. I even purchased so called natural food but then went to a "reputable" brand of so called healthy food. I do believe it was contaminated. I have since found out that several dog food companies, that say Made in the USA, bring in the ingredients from China and mix it with their own. So how do we know these additives are not poisoning our animals.

My friends have dog who passed at 5 and 6 years because of similar problems. Our dogs had a hundred acres to roam and run and I am sure that kept them healthy.

If our animals are being poisoned, what about us????

The one way to minimize the risk is to take the time to make your own dog food. Use grains that you know where they come from, Organic meats, organic rice and mix it yourself. This way they get a wholesome diet and will live longer. If I had dogs again I would never buy commercial grade food...The Govt said they stopped these practices but how do we know. We don't....I am just saddened that I see so many cats, dogs etc being brought to an early and painful death because of poor nutrition. The company that shouts the loudest about the healthy dog food probably has the worst. Lawn poisons are absorbed into the animals feet and this does not help. We need to go back to organic and look at our own way of life. Here is to healthier animals.!
