My Dog Has Cancer

Now What?

Choose a Vet

Find a vet to give your dog cancer treatment. Your regular vet will probably recommend one. Also ask other dog owners if they can recommend one.

Choose a Treatment Plan

There is more than one way to treat any type of cancer. Your vet will help you decide which plan is best for you and your dog.

Read This Book

Read Help Your Dog Fight Cancer, by the founder of Magic Bullet Fund. Laurie saw 920 dogs through cancer treatment. Award-winning book loved by 100,000 dog owners.

Choose a Diet

Use an anti-cancer diet with low carbs and high Omega-3 fatty acids. To prepare your dog's meals, see Bullet's Cancer Diet (Help Your Dog Fight Cancer book, pages 168-175.)

Choose Supplements

Supplements will not cure a dog's cancer, but they can make your dog and your dog's organs strong and healthy, to help him get through treatment in good shape.

Schedule a Consult

Laurie will talk to you about treatment options, diet, supplements - whatever is causing you anxiety. You will be ready to help your dog fight cancer.

If Your Dog Has Cancer

Questions owners ask

How many tests do we need?

Do you need to do ALL of the diagnostic tests? Some testing is necessary. A vet cannot treat a dog for cancer without confirming that it is cancer and knowing what type of cancer it is.

But there are a thousand tests that can be done! Not all of them are needed. If your dog has cancer, you won’t want to put your dog (or your wallet) through tests that are not necessary.

Ask your vet to help you rule out tests that are not necessary. Rule out the ones that will not have any effect on your dog’s treatment plan. Ones that don’t render any information needed to diagnose and treat your dog.

Should my vet choose a treatment?

Your vet’s job is to inform you about ALL treatments that could treat your dog’s cancer. Then, it is your job to decide which treatment plan is best for you and your dog.

Your vet is not aware of your financial situation, your personal, philosophical, religious, or spiritual feelings about cancer treatment. And he doesn’t know your dog as well as you do. If your vet recommends only one way to treat your dog’s cancer, get a 2nd opinion and do some research. Then, you decide.

What else should I do?

Find out what side effects might be caused by the treatment, and be prepared to manage them.
Feed your dog an anti-cancer diet with low carbohydrates and high Omega-3 fatty acids.
Give him some important supplements that will help him fight cancer (see Home Care page).
