Can we learn more about human cancer from dogs?

The study of cancer through comparative oncology (study of cancers in both humans and animals), in recent times, has provided invaluable insights on how the pet-dog is not only man’s companion, but also plays an integral role in improving human health and well-being. More importantly, reiterating the added value of One Health (which is a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to solving societal challenges) by acting or having the potential to act as sentinels (early warning systems) and models for studying, early diagnosis and treatment of human cancer. 

ABCs for Disease Control and Prevention 

Vaccinate your livestock, your pets and your self against common vaccine-preventable diseases e.g. rabies. Picture this: you did not vaccinate your dog, it gets rabid, it goes ahead to bite your neighbour and a kid in the neighbourhood. The full course of PEP against rabies for your 2 neighbours will cost close to Kshs 30,000. Not forgetting the danger of losing your dog too! You could have prevented all these costs and losing your dog if you had just spent between Kshs 100-2000 in vaccinating your dog and protecting it for a whole year!
