dont ever do chemo therapy on your dog, my dog was 9 and he had tumors in his neck and the vet pulled my sisters heart strings and pushed chemo onto him and he died from his 2nd treatment. Just remember, these people are only interested in your money.

what crap! yes chemo has the same side effects on dogs as people but the reason they dont manifest and that chemo is less effective in dogs is that vets purposely use lower doses to maintain the animals quality of life. chemo wont cure most cancers in the dog but it will prolong their life without pain sometimes by up to 12 months
