Bearded Dragon Offers Insight Into Cancer Treatment

A 6-year-old lizard named Citrus is treated for sarcoma, thanks to a Petco Foundation grant to the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine that helps defray the cost of treating cancer in exotic animals like birds, reptiles and small mammals. Pet owners often decide not to treat an exotic animal because of the expense — which means owners lose pets sooner and veterinary medicine loses valuable opportunities to gain insight into effective treatment.

A Study in Gratitude

Bella the Labrador retriever and her owner, Valerie Maitre of Wilmington, are thankful for the Petco Foundation's three-year grant to the NC State Veterinary Hospital. The funding established a program to help defray the cost of cancer treatment for small companion animals like cats and dogs, making advanced cancer care more accessible to pet owners and increasing opportunities for veterinarians to learn more from their clinical experiences.
