Sugar feeds the tumor → do not give carbohydrates
The body produces its own glucose; the tumor cannot be "starved" through diet
Carbohydrate-free diet is healthier for cancer dogs
Can lead to reduced intake, cachexia and poorer quality of life
All carbohydrates are equal
Complex carbohydrates in a balanced formula are fine; large amounts of simple sugars are less ideal
Nutrition can fight the tumor
Nutrition supports the dog — that's the goal
A cancer diagnosis for your dog is already a heavy blow. And then you hear: "We suggest chemotherapy." For many owners, that word immediately conjures up images of people suffering from treatment, losing their hair, and being bedridden for days. But with dogs, the story is different - and not always as severe as you might fear.
Many owners notice it over time: their dog gets thinner, muscles disappear, weight decreases — even though he still eats reasonably well. This is no coincidence. It has a name: cachexia. And it is one of the most underestimated consequences of cancer in dogs.
After a cancer diagnosis, medical terms are thrown at you left and right. What do words like metastases, cachexia, or remission actually mean? In this overview, we explain the most commonly used terms simply, so you know exactly what the vet is talking about.
One of the first things owners notice after a cancer diagnosis is that their dog's appetite decreases. Discover 10 practical tips to stimulate your dog's appetite and support their quality of life.
