Which dogs are affected by Dog Bone Cancer? Our dog breeds are classified into Toy, Small, Medium, and Large or Giant.

While every dog  in one way or another is susceptible to certain kinds of cancer, breeds that are at higher risk of getting Bone Cancer are those that weigh over 80 pounds. These dogs are 60 times more likely to develop Bone Cancer than dogs that weigh less than 75 pounds.

Dogs with this weight are categorized as Giant or Large breeds and that the males are at higher risk of getting Bone Cancer than the females.

Some of the Giant or Large Breeds that are at high risk of developing Bone Cancer are:

Bernese Mountain Dogs
Boxers
Dobermans
German Shepherds
Golden Retrievers
Great Danes
Great Pyrenees
Irish Wolfhounds
Labradors
Newfoundlands

All these dogs listed above are noted for their exceptional dispositions and sweet attitudes. Giant breeds tend to be quite loving and docile, and it is a shame to lose one of them to Bone Cancer.
