Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Canine Cancer Foundation

Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Canine Cancer Foundation Canine Cancer affects one out of every three dogs. Of those, over half of them will die of cancer.

The goal of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Canine Cancer Foundation is both to spread awareness of canine cancer, treatments and research advances as well as raise funds for canine cancer research. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is asking for your help to fund important research grants that are working towards improving those statistics. Through a major project funded by the Nationa

l Institute of Health, the mapping of the genome sequence of the dog has been complete. Knowing the mapping of every gene in the dog, gives researchers an advantage not yet achieved in humans.

The battle against canine cancer in your own pup is shocking. You have to learn alot in a short amount of time to make some of the hardest decisions of your life for your best friend. Remember, you are NOT ALONE. There are always friends and family who will support you, don't be afraid to ask. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is also here for questions or just to tell your story and see that others are fighting along side of you.

Pictures is what I have left. I loved taking pictures and I’m so grateful I have so many! This was 13 years ago!! I can hardly believe it’s been that long and I still know exactly what she was doing. She was staring at a bird that landed next to the window. She had such focus on the things she was interested in. Emma was intense and silly. Her attitude was my challenge and I learned so much. We lost her to cancer 6 years ago but she is clearly still part of our family. Our kids who were toddlers@when she died still remember her and talk@about her. Cancer is mean but it can’t keep us from remembering all the little things that summed up to a huge love and a lot of Fun!

It's CHECK YOUR DOG day! Early detection is a big component if your dog is ever faced with a cancer diagnosis. This is why we put a lot of effort into this day each month. During your checks, if you find something suspicious, make an appointment with your vet to rule out anything serious that will need immediate attention. We are our dogs best advocate and knowledge is power. Check Your Dog cards are a great tool to help spread awareness on what to look for. You can find them at https://wearethecure.org/shop/check-your-dog-cards/ if you would like some to help spread the word.
