#PetCancerAwarenessMonth is an essential time dedicated to educating pet owners about the serious impact of cancer on our beloved pets and the importance of early detection and new diagnostic tools. Zytca Animal Health is making important strides in this field by introducing advanced, accessible diagnostic solutions that are changing how veterinarians diagnose not only infectious disease, but also cancer in animals.
Significance of Pet Cancer Awareness Month
This awareness event highlights how common cancer is among pets, with estimates that one in four dogs and one in five cats will develop cancer in their lifetime, and this increases to 50 percent in dogs over 10 years of age, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. The month encourages owners to monitor for early warning signs, such as lumps, sudden weight loss, changes in eating habits, or unexplained lethargy, and to seek veterinary care promptly. Early detection and intervention dramatically improve the success of cancer treatment in pets.
