get serious about cleaning the teeth, but that has made, I think a huge change in the health and the longevity of a lot of pets.
Cause we see a lot of bigger dogs now living to 15 years and such compared to more like a 10, 10 year lifespan, 10 to 12.
Well, not being an oncologist, I'm not sure as far as the history, you know, on whether it has really increased.
But the thing is, is that, Barry, can I ask you, what were your pets, your last ones that died of cancer?
And that is the hardest phone call for a veterinarian to make.
I don't know if this is true or not, but I do agree with the environment.
But one of the thing is purebreds tend to be more prone to cancerous situations.
But also the larger dogs, lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma are very common.
