Of ALL the things that you can do to prevent cancer in your dog or cat, diet is clearly the most important.
In part you want the diet to include beneficial nutrients that have anti-cancer properties, such as antioxidants, flavanoids, essential fatty acids, etc...
Unfortunately many of the Pet Foods are highly processed, losing the beneficial nutrients.
What CAN you do?
Well you can make your pet's food, or purchase some rather expensive minimally processed food.
As an alternative option, you could consider adding in a flavanoid supplement, which has also been very helpful for pets with allergies. It's the flavanoid isolated from apple peel, Quercetin. It's here:
You should also consider this... We are having a new Webinar next week covering Dog and Cat Cancer, Immune support and Inflammation, with a specific focus on beneficial cannabinoids.

| What’s the deal with cancer diets and dogs? No carbohydrates?
Cancer cells use glucose (carbohydrates) as an energy source, there is concern about feeding carbs to cancer patients. The Cancer diet developed by Dr Greg Ogilivie is very low in carbohydrates, high in protein and fats.
Instead of generalizing “all carbs are bad,” be more critical of the source of the carbs, such as GMO carbs which are heavily sprayed and a serious toxin source.
Fruits and veggies are carbs, but are Chemopreventive with naturally occurring phytochemicals, flavonoids, and vitamins : HIGH in antioxidants! These include kale, fruits like apple, berries, and even carrots. In a 2005 study of Scottish Terriers with bladder cancer, those that got veggies three times a week or more had a decreased risk of cancer, and carrots were the most common vegetable given.
Cancer fighting people food for Dogs
Even if you feed kibble, you can do some simple things to improve your pet’s diet (add in 2-3X/week)
•lean ground meat, poultry
•organ meats – liver very HIGH in Coenzyme Q10
•plain yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese,
•veggies such as carrots, leafy greens (kale), and yams (remember, no onions)
•fruits such as blueberries, melon, mango, peach, and dried cranberries (remember no grapes, no raisins)

| | P.S. There are many ways to potentially prevent cancer in your dog or cat, and diet is just part of the plan. Sometimes it's out of our control, but ALL you can do is feed your pet well, and decrease carcinogen exposure ( ie to insecticides, pet food toxins etc..)
Adding an a beneficial flavanoid supplement may help, and this is a no brainer if you are also dealing with an allergic pet. It's the flavanoid isolated from apple peel, Quercetin. It's here:
P.P.S. I get more questions about Cancer, than virtually any other veterinary condition, so I expect this webinar will fill up fast. ( it's tomorrow at 5PM Pacific, 8PM Eastern)
