      FAMILY 1 Control What You Can There isn't a universally accepted protocol for pet cancer screening, so preventive care is crucial, says veterinary oncologist Brooke Britton, D.V.M., of BluePearl Veterinary Hospital. Every dog and cat should have at least an annual physical, and as your pet ages, your vet may recommend diagnostic tests like urine checks or blood work to catch any cancer early enough to address it. Just as with the rest of the family, taking care of your pet's overall health will lower her cancer risk. [Extracted from the article]
