Summary: “You cannot treat your own dog’s cancer,” said the veterinary oncologist. “You’re looking at months,” she said. Lauren respectfully disagreed. Over the next year she gathered her veterinary care team and treated Sage’s squamous cell carcinoma. She also decided bacon-wrapped steak could be a cancer treatment. This True Tail is one for the ages! Lauren Ebbecke is a dynamic, positive, kind of amazing dog mom in Wisconsin, and her True Tail is truly fascinating. As a science teacher and a wellness coach, she knows a LOT about dog cancer, and she is very generous in this episode. This episode is sponsored by the excellent book The Dog Cancer Survival Guide: Full Spectrum Treatments to Optimize Your Dog’s Life Quality and Longevity.
