Why don't our pet dogs, or cats, ever die of heart disease?
Don't they get the most rancid of fats in their commercial pet foods?
Could it be because they make their own Vitamin C?
They do however, die of cancer sometimes. Maybe cancer is a virus? Or a fungus, or yeast?
I meant to say that some, or maybe even all, cancers are the result of viruses, fungus, or yeast infection.

The sack and canned dog foods are pure junk and contain lots of grains and very destructive things that are not the natural diets for these animals. The animals were designed to eat primarily meat and very little of anything else.
Primitive animals ate highly nutritive grasses that contained very little sugar. The grains, soy, and other garbage that are put into the sack foods give the animals diseases. Veterinarians are making a killing on this. Dogs, for example, should live into their mid 20's, but most die in their early teens of some disease.
The meat being served up on dinner tables around America is pure junk food. The animals are fed grains that have high sugar content and that causes them to die very young, just like dogs and cats. GRASS FED animals live long lives and produce high quality meat and fats that humans and dogs and cats can become very healthy by eating them.
Get some GRASS FED animal meat and feed it raw to your dog and watch how he thrives and never gets sick, is very healthy, and remains young acting. Give the dog some organic table scraps of vegetables on the 4th day and repeat the cycle. You will be amazed at how your dog will be happy and healthy while living twice the life expectancy of those dogs eating the sack and canned foods. Also, Never, EVER, let them vaccinate your dog. That is terrible technology and causes dogs to have a compromised immune system.
good luck to you

It's totally understandable that you're feeling this way. When a pet dies of old age, it's sort of expected, but your cat was taken suddenly & tragically. That's probably why this death is more difficult for you. Maybe you are feeling that somehow you're responsible? Don't worry that your feelings are not reasonable. Pets are an important part of our lives & it's ok & natural to mourn them. They are family, too.

Perhaps they don't live long enough to perish from heart disease, due to the rotten meat they are given to live off? Cancer isn't a virus or it would be contagious and we know it's not. All we know is that cancer can only be created and survive in an acidic body, and that's why we should be looking at alkalising our bodies with alkaline foods. Meat is acidic so can encourage some cancers - hence many cats and dogs dying from cancer.

My lab died at 11 years of age from heart disease. It was very expensive to find the cause of her being sick and I would imagine that is why more aren't diagnosed.

They actually do die of heart disease. But finding the causes of why pets are sick is realy expensive and harder to do in animals, so in most cases I don't think the diagnosis is accurate.

Do you mean Cancer is caused by a fungus or virus? or is made of fungus? it cannot be made of fungus or yeast as cancer isn't a contagious or infectious disease.

That's primarily what they die of. Heart disease and cancer. Don't believe what you hear.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
They can and some do.
I think cancer and other diseases get them first.

Because animal doesn't have that kind of disease.
