The CHECK YOUR DOG initiative is one of the most important things we do here at the NCCF. Spreading awareness and educating dog owners on the importance of regular checks helps save lives. Our dogs count on us. They love us unconditionally so it's the least we can do for them. 🥰 One of the best ways to help out is to spread the word. You can do this with your own set of CHECK YOUR DOG cards. Get them at https://wearethecure.org/shop/check-your-dog-cards/. 🐶🩷🐾

Meet Tracey - Our CHECK YOUR DOG Dog of the Month for February:
"Tracey was the most loving sweetest dog to exist in shihtzu world. Trace we would call her was born in December 2013 as a pure breed shihtzu. Tracey live a happy loving life with her mom Kayla and her family (parents). Tracey was a fun energetic friendly lady who never would hurt a fly. Tracey began to eat a lot of foods she’d crave so we feed her as much we can. Tracey would go to the vet regular and prior never had issues. Others kept saying the dog is gaining weight and not to worry. But on further look a random day, we found out Trace stomach was abnormal large and hard. Lumpy, a bit too big & lumpy. We found out she had a massive tumor inside her pancreas and when found was too late for removal / too big. Surgery cost they were saying was $20,000. Tracey everyday however stay positive despite this fought like hell for a next 2 years with terrible symptoms of loss of appetite and excitement. weight loss, hair removal, skin allergies, vomiting and going off. when the doctor only gave her 6 months to live. We constantly treated her with antibiotics and pain medication because we loved and cared for her. At the age of 10 and half Tracey went over the rainbow bridge then July 7, 2024." ~ Kayla M.

When you get a cancer diagnosis, it is shocking and most of the time you can't think of all the questions right then OR you have been to your first appointment and you want to ask another opinion about something your vet said. Our Ask the Dr. resource can help you!

Dr. Michael Kent is board certified in both medical and radiation oncology. He is currently the Professor of Radiation Oncology in the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at University of California Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine.

Send him your question and a much information as you can and he will share his thoughts with you. Please keep in mind, since he is not seeing your dog in person, he cannot diagnose or treat your dog, but he can give you some valuable insight.

Head over to our website and ask away!

- We have lost too many to cancer. Today I remember them all. Here is our Ashby, 20+ years ago. He was a shy guy, a water kong guy, a pleaser but really preferred to be home in his pool. He loved his pack (pictured with Emma the puppy and Duncan, both of which got cancer too.). Ashby, named after Houston Astros player Alan Ashby was my first dog (Sara) and he ended up with a brain tumor. The second of our goldens to lose a battle to cancer.
