Houndtime Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/the-high-price-of-pet-cancer/19717147/ An interesting note: Some breeds, such as boxers, Labrador retrievers and chow chows, are especially susceptible to cancer. For example, an estimated 60% of golden retrievers die of the disease, according to the Morris Animal Foundation, and the Golden Retriever Foundation is funding a $1 million study of the breed's genetic risk factors for cancer.
