Q: My 5 year old boxer was just diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. Our vet removed it but said he might get another one. I know a lot of boxers get cancer but trying to see if there is anything I can do to help. Can you recommend any herbs or homeopathic remedies for my boxer Brutus?
A: So sorry that your boxer Brutus was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. It is very scary when these type of malignant dog tumors appear. Feed your boxer a grain-free, low carbohydrate diet. Ideally, using low allergen protein choices such as rabbit or fish would be best. In addition, there are a few supplements that would really help. First, be sure to give your boxer Oncopet Oncopet is a veterinary-approved formula that we have used successfully with many dogs that have mast cell tumors. In addition, use a powerful, therapeutic fish oil based from sardines and anchovies. Use a quercetin-based formula such as AllerEaze to quiet the histamine response.
