January is National Walk Your Dog Month!🦮🐩🐕‍🦺

Regular walks help your dog maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and strengthen muscles and joints.

Mental stimulation, behavioral improvement, increased socialization, and a strengthened bond between you and your pet are all byproducts of a consistent walking routine.

Time to brave the cold and put on those walking shoes. Your dog will thank you!❄️🐾

What does it mean to say that a pet is being treat

What does it mean to say that a pet is being treated with palliative radiation? How does that differ from stereotactic or definitive radiation?

Choosing the best radiation protocol for a dog depends heavily on the type and location of the tumor, the dog's overall health, and the desired treatment goal.

For example, the Frenchie pictured is our most recent grant recipient, Hendrix. In November his mom noticed some tremoring in his pelvic limbs coupled with an increase in panting. An MRI revealed a mass causing cord compression at the L5 and L6 vertebrae, which was thought to be caused by a slipped disc. Unfortunately during surgery, an inoperable mass was found.

By December Hendrix was having trouble walking on his own. Palliative radiation was recommended for Hendrix to control his symptoms, maintain a good quality of life, and alleviate the pain associated with his tumor. This treatment protocol typically requires fewer visits and results in fewer side effects.

These decisions are always hard, but FETCH a Cure is here to support pet owners both financially and emotionally as they navigate the storm of a cancer diagnosis💙💚

Remember Buddy, the deaf puppy we pulled from @rac

Remember Buddy, the deaf puppy we pulled from @racc_shelter last March? After months of training with his dedicated handlers at Beaumont Correctional Center, Buddy, now Baxter, was ready for his forever home. When his new family came to meet him at the prison, they instantly fell in love and began preparing their home for their newest addition.

Check out our stories to see pictures of Baxter frolicking in his new yard during his very first snow day!
