Cancer is now the number one killer of most domestic animals. This fact raises a fearsome specter for those who know how confusing and painful it can be to endure the course of this disease in their pets. Having lost four animal companions to cancer, author Deborah Straw became frustrated by the lack of concrete knowledge about the causes, prevention, and treatment of cancer in pets. This thorough and comprehensive guide to every aspect of the disease in animals is the result of her search for answers.
Readers will discover the many environmental, dietetic, and vaccine-related culprits that may cause cancer in pets, and they'll learn preventive measures that can be taken to safeguard their pets' well-being. Should your animal's diagnosis be confirmed, the full spectrum of both conventional and alternative treatments is presented, from chemotherapy and laser surgery to herbal therapy, acupuncture, and touch therapy. Readers will find information about both caring for a sick animal and grieving its loss. Full of knowledge, options, and support, this is an essential resource for protecting your pet.

Review
. . . clear, concise, and revealing. . . . [the] compassionate ending to a well-researched book is, in itself, worth the price. -- Neil L. Mace, Field Trail Magazine, Fall 2001

An excellent guide to the causes, prevention, and treatment of cancer in pets. The reader is empowered to take charge of their animal's well-being and become a more responsible consumer of veterinary and pet care services. -- Pets Magazine

The information Straw provides in her book can help us consider changes we can make for our animals to help prevent cancer. -- Esther Caldwell, Animal, Fall 2001
