FDA approves dog cancer drug

sick-dogToday the Food and Drug Administration approved a medicine to treat cancer in dogs.

The medicine, Palladia, was developed by Pfizer. It’s designed to treat skin tumors, which can be common among pooches.

Until now, dogs with cancer have been treated with medicine for humans, ranging from oral treatments to chemotherapy. Like humans, dogs can develop a variety of cancers. And like humans, early detection is key. And like humans, unfortunately, there are a lots of bogus supplements and treatments out there.

The best option: talk to your vet.
