Mission Valley Veterinary Clinic

Cancer Awareness Just like humans, the longer your pet lives, the higher their risk of developing some form of cancer. The most common types of cancer in dogs include lymphoma, mast cell tumors in skin, and osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Some of these cancers have subtle symptoms or may appear simply as an enlargement or lump that a pet owner might just attribute to aging. In many cases, those bumps may be a benign lipoma (fatty tumor), but it’s much better to be safe than s...orry. That’s why it’s important that pets have annual wellness checksand for pets over seven, Mission Valley recommends semi-annual exams and blood testing. Many types of pet cancers are treatable, but the earlier they’re caught, the better your pet’s chances of a good outcome. Call Mission Valley Veterinary Clinic at 510-797-2323 to set up your senior pet’s wellness screenings! See more
