On this bored we may hear a lot about pet insurance but the average owner does not get pet insurance so I don't think that will give you a good accurate number. All cancers have increased in humans for sure but there not being spayed and neutered so that is not the reason. Poymentra is a death sentence period maybe a rare dog makes it but the majority dosent. You can think your dog is fine after surgery and a month later there dead why anyone would take the risk is beyond me. I will never get why when the numbers and science is just not there that anyone could recommend people not get there dogs fixed. This just completly shocks me and makes me a bit sick to my stomach.
