[Video] Can Plant-Based Diets Stop Cancer In Dogs?
In August we hosted Dr. Clare Knottenbelt to discuss the prevalence of cancer in dogs and the impact it has on a pet's family. By discussing what factors are thought to increase the risks of cancer in our pets, she reviewed the evidence that could suggest plant-based diets might lower the incidence of cancer in dogs.
We discussed:
- The rates of cancer in companion dogs
- The factors that might predispose their dog to cancer
- How knowledge from humans can be used to help dogs and vice versa
- How a plant-based diet could help reduce cancer in animals that share our environments and diets
