Home Care for a Dog with Cancer

Cancer treatments like surgery, chemo, and radiation are all exhausting and can be difficult for a dog to go through. Any type of cancer treatment is tough on a dog’s organs. An anti-cancer diet and anti-cancer supplements will fortify a dog internally. Diet and supplements are an important part of good home care for a dog in cancer treatment. 

Anti-Cancer Diet

An anti-cancer diet has low carbohydrates and high Omega-3 fatty acids. If your dog eats store-bought food, choose a brand with low carbs (12% or less), and add Omega-3 oils to each meal.

If you prepare your dog’s meals yourself, follow these same guidelines. Use the step-by-step illustrated guide to  preparing Bullet’s Cancer Diet on pages 168-180 in the book, or download chapter 10 on the Downloads page on this website.

Give your dog immune system boosters. A very popular one is K9 Immunity from Aloha Medicinals. 

If your dog is having chemotherapy, it is very important to give him L-Glutamine.
