Vet Coop: For Dog Lovers
For Dog Lovers
Getting a diagnosis that your dog is ill can be overwhelming.
We would like to help.
Dog cancer can be an overwhelming experience. Many times the news from the veterinarian is so bleak it can be difficult to deal with.
Why is this?
The rates of true cures for systemic cancers is very, very low. Although some cancers can be removed with surgery, the true malignancies usually are incurable.
This is different from the situation in human medicine, where the doctors more often can get a true cure. In veterinary medicine, the tools available, which include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, usually do not yield a cure.
It is no wonder cancer is overwhelming for so many.
Here are some things that can be especially difficult:
- The Treatment Could be Worse than the Disease
- Difficulty in a Real Cure
- High Costs
- My Dog’s Age Makes Treatments Risky
- Surgical Pain
- Anesthetic Risks
- Too Much Hospital Time
In an effort to make things better for dogs with cancer, we have designed a special new strategy called ApocapsTM. These are easy-to-administer, sprinkle capsules that can be given with a small amount of food.
ApocapsTM is a source of dietary apoptogens. An apoptogen is a substance that causes a normal, healthy process in cells called apoptosis. Apoptosis is the quiet end-of-life stage where old, diseased, damaged, or proliferating cells break apart. This makes way for new, fresh and vital cells to replenish the body.
Cells that are proliferating in an uncontrolled way damage the body severely. These cells represent too little apoptosis in the body! By supplying the body with a natural source of apoptogens, we are strategically turning on the normal process of apoptosis to rid the body of these old, diseased, damaged, and proliferating cells.
After much research, we have designed ApocapsTM, that is the source of dietary apoptogens. It is very exciting because we have shown real, scientifically validated benefit in dogs who are in clinical trials at South Shore Veterinary Care.
It has been shown to be very safe in over 40 dogs used. On top of this, we intend it to be affordable, safe for use in the elderly, easily administered at home, and to increase life quality for a happy life.
We want to do continue our efforts in perfecting this exciting strategy so we can help the bleak situation in dog cancer care.
We have enrolled veterinarians across the country to help us make ApocapsTM even stronger in our Veterinary Cooperative Program (VCP).
The VCP gets ApocapsTM to dogs who need it and are receiving regular veterinary care. We require the involvement of the veterinarians to help us, by giving us their professional feedback. However, it is quite easy to obtain a one-month supply.
Enrollment is very simple. Just print out the form below, and have your veterinarian sign it and fax it in. We then send the ApocapsTM to your veterinarian for your loved dog.
