Breakthrough Study Shows Oligo Fucoidan Enhances Quality of Life in Dogs with Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy

Dr. Gerald Post and his team from The Veterinary Cancer Center (VCC, USA) evaluated the effect of oligo fucoidan on the quality of life in dogs with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in a double-blinded case control study. Treatment with oligo fucoidan was safe and improved some of the quality-of-life metrics in dogs who were being treated with chemotherapy for cancer.
