A cancer diagnosis is not the end of your dog’s story.

Educational information for dog families, how cancer is found, what treatment looks like, and how new therapies and clinical trials are giving dogs more hope.

Wherever you are, start here

Weigh the treatment options

Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and newer immune-based therapies, including likely benefits, limitations, costs, and possible side effects.

Look into clinical trials

A practical tool to help you weigh treatment options, costs, side effects, and your dog’s quality of life.

Every cancer is different.

Each guide covers signs, how it's diagnosed, typical treatment paths, prognosis, and where research stands today.

An aggressive bone cancer, most often affecting the limbs of large and giant-breed dogs.

Cancer of lymphocytes, a type of immune-system cell.

A group of tumors arising from connective tissues such as muscle, fat, nerves, and fibrous tissue.

Aggressive blood-vessel cancer, often affecting the spleen, heart, liver, or skin.

A common skin tumor in dogs, ranging from low-risk to highly aggressive.

Most commonly urothelial carcinoma, formerly called transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).

TREATMENT, EXPLAINED

Proven therapies today.
New science on the horizon.

Most dogs are treated with well-established conventional therapy. A growing number are also helped by immunotherapy, treatments that teach the dog's own immune system to fight the cancer.

The backbone of canine cancer care often gentler on dogs than people expect.

Surgery — when and how tumors are removed, and what "clean margins" means

Chemotherapy — prioritizes quality of life. Most dogs tolerate it well, with generally mild side effects.

Radiation — precise local control for tumors surgery can't fully reach

Where the research we fund lives treatments that harness the immune system, from cancer vaccines to immune boosters.

Cancer vaccines — including the EGFR/HER2 vaccine for osteosarcoma and other solid tumors

Immune boosters — therapies like Immunocidin that wake the immune system's own response

What's realistic — which dogs may benefit, and what the evidence shows so far

 NEW SCIENCE 

CLINICAL TRIALS

Clinical trials give dogs access to promising new therapies, often at reduced or no cost, while helping every dog that comes after. We'll help you understand eligibility, what participation involves, and how to talk to your oncologist about it.
