Millie's Million, an organization set up to help people cope with their dog's cancer, has put together a focused list of what to do when your dog is diagnosed with cancer.
When you find out that your dog has cancer, it’s one of the most surreal experiences possible. You panic and grab a camera to

- Approach the cancer journey with hope.
- Talk to other pet owners who have been down the canine cancer road with their own dogs.

- Find clinical trials.
- Don’t freak out if you can’t afford traditional treatments. There are still things you can do.
- Consider adding a wellness program to traditional treatments.
- Don’t feel guilty about any decisions you make.
