Dog behaviour problems rarely resolve on their own. Active intervention is typically required for effective resolution.

Behavioural issues are not breed-specific problems. Instead, they often result from the relationship between people and their dogs. Dogs, like children, need to be taught proper behaviour and manners. Providing guidance and setting expectations can help prevent behavioural issues in dogs of any breed.

Addressing dog behavioural problems early on is crucial because it is easier to correct and more rewarding for both you and your dog. If left unaddressed, these problems can worsen and lead to an unhealthy relationship between you and your pet. Identifying and resolving issues early on helps maintain a positive and enjoyable bond with your dog.

End-of-life care, also known as palliative or hospice care, focuses on addressing your pet's symptoms and providing support to make their final days as comfortable as possible. Veterinarians can help guide you through this difficult period and help you decide when it's time to say goodbye. If you have questions about canine cancer or end-of-life care, don't hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for guidance.

Some dogs tolerate cancer treatment well and may not show outward signs of suffering. However, others may experience symptoms such as fatigue, lack of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, or a loss of their usual sparkle or brightness in their personality. If you're concerned about your dog's quality of life during cancer treatment, it's important to discuss your concerns with your veterinarian, who can help guide you in making the best decisions for your pet.

The survival time for a dog with cancer after treatment varies depending on the type of cancer. Some cancers can be cured, while others may go into remission for months or even years. In some cases, treatment can help slow down the progression of cancer and provide your dog with a better quality of life for a limited time, such as three to six months or up to a year.

Yes, some types of dog cancer can be cured. The likelihood of a cure depends on the type of cancer and how early it is diagnosed.

Cancer treatment in dogs is not necessarily painful. While surgery and IV treatments can induce pain or discomfort, your veterinarian will work with you and potentially a pain management specialist to provide appropriate pain management for your dog. The medications or treatments themselves are not known to be painful.

The frequency of treatments depends on the type of cancer and the specific treatment plan. Treatment cycles can vary from once a week to every three to four weeks. It is important to follow the recommendations of your veterinarian or oncologist to ensure the best outcome for your dog.
