One in four 💔

Just like humans, 1 in 4 dogs will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. This statistic is a stark reminder that fighting cancer takes us all.

At the Flint Animal Cancer Center, we’re working hard to advance treatment, improve quality of life, and conduct meaningful research that benefits both pets and people. We're on a mission to conquer cancer for all!

This Pet Cancer Awareness Month, join us in helping spread awareness and support our work so that sweet dogs like Poppy can continue the fight.

Finn's legacy lives on here at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital! ❤️

To recognize vet techs' essential role in the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and to help technicians care for their own pets, three private donors established Finn’s Friends Fund in 2022. The fund honors Finn, a “sassy” golden retriever who underwent cancer treatment at the Flint Animal Cancer Center in the hospital.

Protect Your Furry Friend: Reduce the Risk of Pet Cancer 🐾

This Pet Cancer Awareness Month, make sure you're doing what you can to prevent pet cancer. These small changes can have a big impact:

✅ Healthy Diet – Feed your pet a balanced, high-quality diet rich in antioxidants. Avoid processed foods and excessive treats.
✅ Regular Exercise – Keep your pet active to maintain a healthy weight and support overall wellness.
✅ Routine Vet Visits – Early detection is key! Regular check-ups can catch issues before they become serious.
✅ Limit Exposure to Toxins – Keep pets away from to***co smoke, pesticides, and harmful chemicals.
✅ Spay/Neuter – This can reduce the risk of certain cancers in dogs and cats.
✅ Dental Care – Oral health is linked to overall health; regular cleanings can prevent serious conditions.

Please share this post to increase awareness about preventing pet cancer.

Today, we pause to honor and thank all veterans who have served and sacrificed for our country — both two- and four-legged. 🐾

At the Flint Animal Cancer Center, we are deeply grateful for the brave men, women, and military canines whose courage protects our freedom and inspires us every day.

To all who have served — and to the loyal service dogs who stood beside them — we salute you. Thank you for your dedication, strength, and love. 💙❤️🤍

Dogs and humans share more than companionship; we also, unfortunately, share cancer. 🧬

Cancer affects dogs and people at nearly the same rate, and we often get the same kinds of cancer.

That's why we're on a mission to find One Cure for all! Studying cancer in pets helps advance understanding and treatment for pets and people.

At the Flint Animal Cancer Center, our work in comparative oncology bridges human and veterinary medicine, turning discoveries in one species into hope for another.

This Pet Cancer Awareness Month, support science that saves lives — for pets and people.

Early detection saves lives. 🎗️

Just like in people, diagnosing cancer early gives pets the best chance for more quality time with their families.

When cancer is caught early, it’s often localized (hasn’t spread). That means surgery, radiation, or targeted chemotherapy can be more effective. Once the cancer metastasizes (spreads), treatment shifts to management rather than cure, and unfortunately, prognosis typically worsens.

We recommend regular vet check-ups and attention to any changes in your pet's health. Early detection can make all the difference.

This Pet Cancer Awareness Month, schedule a checkup, spread the word, and help us continue to fight cancer in pets.

Here at the Flint Animal Cancer Center, national nonprofit Petco Love is powering our lifesaving work for pets like Nipper.

Nipper is an 8-year-old mixed-breed dog and has been very loved by his pet parents from the moment they adopted him as a puppy. Recently, his pet parents noticed several lumps and bumps on his body. They brought him to the FACC for treatment. Thanks to a lifesaving investment from Petco Love, Nipper is getting the care he needs to continue making his family smile.

“We would like to thank Petco Love for the investment in Nipper’s care at the Flint Animal Cancer Center. It has truly helped Nipper in his journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” - Brandon G., Nipper’s pet parent.

Our Story

Same cancers, similar treatments. Providing the best care and treatment possible for pets, while using what we learn to help people too, with an end goal of finding One Cure. #OneCancerOneCure

Launched in 2011, the One Cure initiative is founded on the principle that cancer affects all creatures and that treatment breakthroughs come through collaboration between scientists and doctors working with people and animals. This approach is known as comparative oncology and it is the guiding concept of One Cure and the Flint Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State University.

At the Flint Animal Cancer Center, our mission is to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in pets, and team with the human medical field to translate research findings that will help people with cancer. One Cure’s goal is to raise awareness and funding to support Flint Animal Cancer Center's clinical trials program and other comparative oncology research.
