How to Apply to Your Dog?
To support your dog's health while managing hemangiosarcoma, focus on a low-carbohydrate diet with lean, high-quality proteins and animal fats as energy sources. Cancer cells rely on glucose, so reducing carbs helps starve them while allowing your dog’s body to use ketones for energy, slowing cancer growth.
