The best treatment for cancer is to catch it as early as possible. But apart from noticeable lumps, it’s easy to overlook some of the more subtle symptoms of cancer in dogs So I asked some of my holistic vet friends, what are the top 7 signs of cancer you should look for.

Before we get started, make sure you subscribe to this channel and if you’re on YouTube, click the alert notification. Apart from lumps, one of the most reliable signs of cancer is weight loss … especially if it seems to happen overnight. Cancer will rob your dog of calories and nutrition, so if your dog is losing weight, it’s a good idea to get a vet check. Sudden lethargy is another sign … if your dog just suddenly seems tired, a vet check might be in order, especially if you see any of these other signs. Don’t assume your dog is just slowing down with age.

Now, I don’t want to scare you with this one, but lameness can be another sign of cancer. Osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, can be common in dogs over 65 pounds, especially middle aged dogs. So if your dog has pain and lameness that doesn’t improve, your vet will want to x-ray it for signs of osteosarcoma.

According to Dr Dee Blanco, another common sign of cancer is an unknown disease that doesn’t go away. If you find your vet doing a lot of diagnostics on your dog with no diagnosis, it’s a good idea to consider cancer. Any dog over 6 is at risk for cancer.

Another sign to look for is nose bleeds - these can indicate nasal cancer. According to Dr Judy Jasek, any abnormal bleeding can be a sign of cancer, so be aware of blood in the stools or vomit. And changes to the eyes, like bulging or differences in the size of the pupils, can be a warning sign for brain cancer.

Apart from lumps, you might see other signs of cancer on your dog’s skin. Weeping sores that don’t heal or even just generally itchy skin can be a sign that there’s chronic inflammation, which is a major cause of cancer. As a matter of fact, any chronic inflammation in the body is a significant risk for cancer.

So those are some of the top signs to look for. But the important thing is to be aware of them without obsessing over whether your dog has cancer or not. Dr Marty Goldstein says he doesn’t like giving people signs to look for because then you’ll start looking for them! And it doesn’t do you or your dog any good if you’re both stressed out about it. So even if your dog does have cancer, a positive, supportive approach is key. Don’t ignore these symptoms and let them go … be vigilant, but at the same time, make sure you enjoy the time you have with your dog today, regardless of whether she has cancer or not. If you have any questions about the signs of cancer, or cancer in general, just leave a comment below. And if you like this video, please make sure you like it, share it, and tell people about it.
