Several years ago, our beloved dog Jack was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma
it was in his muzzle and he was only 3 years old! There were NO good options and our vet gave him 4-6 weeks. My husband and I embarked on that awful journey - - heartbroken!! I started learning about anti-cancer diets for dogs and got completely consumed with changing his nutrition (and our other dog Allis as well) to give him a fighting chance. With his new human grade/homemade food, Jack survived for 6 months and it wasnt until the last few days that he showed any signs of pain so OF COURSE he got the strong pain meds that the vet had given us. Well never go back to feeding any kind of kibble and I am VERY cautious about anything our dogs eat. (We adopted another dog - Jack - a few months after losing Mack.)
Alli (65 pounds
boxer mix
.) is now 12 and she runs like a puppy - - her eyes are perfectly clear, her coat is amazing and she has no health issues whatsoever!! Mack, our court jester is 5 and hes enjoying the same healthy life.
Its daunting, at first, to learn all nutrition needs for dogs, but I read and research all the time and Im so glad that we can do this for our beloved fur babies.
