Dear Fur The Brand Community,

It is with grateful hearts that we share the news that Fur The Brand will be pausing our operations, effective 5/5. As we reflect on the incredible journey we've embarked on together, we are filled with gratitude for the unwavering support, compassion, and dedication that our community has shown us over the years.

When we first began this mission, our goal was to make a meaningful impact in the lives of dogs, and their families, affected by cancer. Together, with your support, our shared efforts have helped raise awareness, fund critical treatments, and offer a source of comfort to over 155 dog families in the fight against canine cancer!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has contributed to Fur The Brand by donating, volunteering, attending events, sharing our posts, and spreading the word to help us raise awareness of canine cancer. Youโ€™ve been an integral part of our impact over the last 3.5 years! At this time, all available funds have been designated to families through our grant-giving process and Fur The Brand will no longer be actively fundraising.

Although Fur The Brand may be pausing operations, the spirit of our mission lives on in the memories we've created together and the lives we've touched. We encourage you to continue supporting the fight against canine cancer through other reputable organizations, ensuring that our shared commitment to the fight persists. Advocate for your dogs, focus on prevention, raise awareness, and please be a source of support for anyone you know affected by canine cancer. It is a heartbreaking disease affecting too many but we firmly believe in the power of prevention and, as pet parents, that is in all of our hands.

This is not goodbye, it's see you later for now!

We couldnโ€™t have done our important work without your support and will be furever grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿพ When it comes to fighting canine cancer there are several holistic approaches that can complement traditional treatments & support overall well-being, swipe to see!

๐Ÿฅฆ Feed your dog a balanced, whole-food diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Include fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to support their immune system and overall health. Avoid commercial kibbles that are highly processed and linked to health issues.

๐Ÿ„Consider adding supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, medicinal mushrooms (such as reishi and turkey tail), and herbs like turmeric and milk thistle to your dogโ€™s diet. CBD is also proven to kill cancer cells. These all can have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธExplore alternative therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and hydrotherapy. These modalities can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, stimulate the immune system, and enhance your dogโ€™s quality of life.

๐ŸงชLimit exposure to toxins and carcinogens in your dogโ€™s environment by using natural cleaning products, avoiding pesticides and herbicides, toxic fragrances in the home, and providing filtered water.

๐ŸฆดMinimize stress in your dogโ€™s environment and provide plenty of mental stimulation through interactive toys, puzzle games, and positive reinforcement training. Stress reduction techniques like massage and acupuncture may also be beneficial!

๐ŸฆฎRegular, moderate exercise can help maintain your dogโ€™s muscle mass, improve circulation, and support their overall vitality. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate level of activity for your dogโ€™s condition.

โŒ not medical advice. always do your research, advocate for your dogs, & consult with your Veterinary care team! ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿ—ฃ Today is World Spay Day! SPAY + NEUTER! Both are an important part of CANCER PREVENTION & play a HUGE role in the massive overcrowding crisis in our shelters, nationwide.๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿคฏ One unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in only 6 years.

๐Ÿถ In unspayed female canines and felines, the most common type of tumor is in the mammary glands.

๐Ÿถ By spaying early enough, the hormones that cause mammary gland tumors later in life are reduced which lowers their risk of developing cancerous tumors.

๐Ÿถ For male dogs, the most common form of cancer is testicular cancer. Neutering eliminates the region in which this cancer grows, stopping it before it even starts.

๐Ÿถ Spaying or neutering greatly decreases the number of animals that are euthanized at shelters.

๐Ÿถ As many as 25% of dogs entering shelters each year are purebreds.

Please, please, please spay and neuter your pets!

โ€œSunny had surgery in December 2022 to remove a large tumor (lesion) that was life-threatening. Unfortunately, the tumor grew back and she now needs a second surgery followed by radiation. Financial assistance from Fur The Brand helps ease my mind and now we can focus on getting Sunny the treatment she needs and we donโ€™t have to worry about how we are going to pay for it.โ€

๐Ÿถ Meet Sunny!โ˜€๏ธ This beautiful girl is a 2-year-old, Mini Golden Doodle diagnosed with a canine leiomyoma. A tumor attached to the exterior wall of her stomach.๐Ÿ’”

SYMPTOMS: She stopped eating, drinking water, and could not defecate due to the size of the mass occupying tumor.

๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ”ง A HUGE THANK YOU TO FOR THEIR SPONSORSHIP THAT HELPED WITH SUNNYโ€™S TREATMENT! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ”ง

We are so thankful for their support in the fight against canine cancer. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Today is WORLD CANCER DAY. ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿพ A day dedicated to raising awareness of cancer and encouraging its prevention, early detection, and treatment. 1 in 4 dogs will face canine cancer in their lifetime. ๐Ÿ’” Since 2020, Fur The Brand has been on a mission to change that. ๐Ÿถ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Preventive, proactive health care and early detection are critical in the fight against canine cancer! What can you do to improve your dog's health and prevent canine cancer today?

๐ŸŽ—๏ธ It's estimated that 1.9 million humans and over 6 million dogs will be diagnosed with cancer this year. So what are we doing to fight it? Staying dedicated to raising awareness.๐Ÿ‘Š

Fighting canine cancer starts with prevention and AWARENESS! ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿพ Humans and pet dogs share the same living spaces, so they are exposed to many of the same environmental factors that cause cancer.

๐Ÿพ Keeping nutrition and environments non-toxic is so important for everyone and plays a huge role in prevention!

๐Ÿพ Being mindful of personal/pet care products, cleaning products, and filtering drinking water are a few, simple actions you can take around your home to help reduce your entire family's risk of cancer.

๐Ÿพ ALWAYS check for bumps, lumps, and/or any unusual behaviors.
