Why do you think more dogs are being diagnosed with cancer at such early ages these days Dr. Per?



Hi Danny

For a couple of days I have be thinking how to answer this very good question.
And to be honest - I still don't know.

A simple but very profound question. A question the human race has been asking for many years regarding cancer
in humans.

It would be easy to pick something regarding dog food, nutrition or genetic problem and say "This is the most important factor!"

Those doing so is merely just looking after there "15 min in the limelight"

In my opinion it is much more complicated.

Yes, some breeds are more phone to develop cancer than others. Some chemicals can do the same. Sometimes chemicals are thought of as a bad one and a cause of cancer, but later it has failed to find proof.

So my answer is: I don't know.

And then my question is "Is it so?"

I would like opinions regarding this subject and invite others to to share there experiences or opinions.

All the best
