🐾 Did you know your lawn could be putting your dog at risk for bladder cancer?

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most common bladder cancer in dogs and research shows a strong link to common lawn chemicals. Here's what every dog owner should know:

⚠️ THE RISK:
β€’ Dogs exposed to lawns treated with herbicides AND insecticides had over 7x the odds of developing TCC
β€’ Herbicide exposure alone increased the odds 3.6x
β€’ Phenoxy herbicides like 2,4-D (found in many common w**d killers) are the biggest concern

πŸ• MOST AT-RISK BREEDS:
β€’ Scottish Terriers (18–20x higher risk than mixed breeds!)
β€’ West Highland White Terriers
β€’ Shetland Sheepdogs
β€’ Beagles
β€’ Wire Fox Terriers
⚠️ But ALL breeds can be affected

☠️ HOW DOGS GET EXPOSED:
β€’ Walking barefoot on treated grass
β€’ Grooming chemical residues off their paws
β€’ Studies show dogs can test positive for herbicide residues even from NEIGHBORS' treated lawns

βœ… WHAT YOU CAN DO:
β€’ Avoid or minimize phenoxy herbicides on your property
β€’ Keep dogs off treated lawns for at least 72 hours (labels often underestimate how long chemicals persist)
β€’ Feed green leafy and yellow-orange veggies (carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin) 3x/week. Research shows this may significantly reduce TCC risk
β€’ Keep your dog at a healthy weight
β€’ Watch for warning signs: blood in urine, straining to urinate, frequent small urinations

πŸ”¬ This information is based on peer-reviewed research, including:

πŸ“„ Glickman et al. "Herbicide exposure and the risk of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in Scottish Terriers." Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2004;224(8):1290–1297.
