Prevention

Currently, the most effective treatment for cancer is PREVENTION!

This is particularly true for our four-legged pets, who are not usually taken for annual check-ups. They cannot tell us their symptoms, so most of the time, by the time they are diagnosed with a tumor, the disease is already in a very advanced state.

One of the most common causes of cancer is a malfunctioning immune system. Approximately 100 million cells are multiplying every day in adult dogs, but some of these also carry genetic defects. One of the immune system’s main tasks is to recognise and destroy these defective cells before they can reproduce themselves and the defect.

However, if the dysfunctional immune system fails to recognise the degenerated cell and the immune response fails, the cell starts to grow and a tumour develops. (You can read about the connection between dog tumor and medicinal mushroom and the cause of tumor formation here.)

Further information about the medicinal mushrooms found in K9 InuExtra®, their mechanism of action, and the scientific publications behind them can be found on our Information for the Veterinarian page.

K9 InuExtra® and immunomodulatory therapy

The fundamental aim of all immunomodulatory therapies is to activate the immune system, thereby triggering the body’s ability to heal itself. A properly functioning immune system recognises tumour cells and destroys them before they can multiply.

The most effective way to prevent tumour development in your pet is to keep the immune system healthy and strong, and feeding the dog with cancer is a key part of this!

Its application to indications is based on many years of experience, but results cannot be guaranteed and may vary from individual to individual.
