Pets are susceptible to the same types of cancer that people get. Cancer can strike at any age, but it is usually a disease of middle-aged and older dogs and cats. And it is all too common: Cancer causes almost half the deaths of pets older than ten years.

Here is a checklist of possible warning signs of some pet cancers:

If your pet exhibits any of these signs, call your vet.

1. Your pet has a lump or sore that won’t go away.

2. Your pet is eating but losing weight.

3. It is hard for your pet to chew or swallow.

4. There is a discharge or bleeding from any body opening.

5. Your pet has a bad smell.

6. Your pet tires easily and doesn’t want to exercise.

7. Your pet has quit eating for more than a day or two.
