Where can I find good ratings on dog food quality?
Is there a consumers report, or some other independent rating system? I’m not interested in people’s personal opinions on dog food, but some sort of scientific studies.
Dog Food Analysis is the website that has ratings/reviews of dog foods. (I recommend only feeding foods rated 4, 5, or 6 stars. Anything 3 stars or less, I would stay away from.)

Dog Food Analysis isn’t a “scientific study” per say, they don’t do any sort of experiments with chemicals to see how the food breaks down of anything. But they do use a standard way across the board of reviewing the foods, which you can see here: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/how_do_we_assess_the_foods.htm
Dog Food Project is a great website as well. It tells you more about the ingredients in your dog food, how to read labels, etc.

The wellness center or hotel spa should have more than just a sauna and a pool if you are to have a great wellness hétvége or wellness weekend at one of the wellness szállodák or wellness hotels. And if there is fresh air around so much the better it. Taking in a deep breath and exhaling the fresh air provides your immune system and inner cells great health and recovery. And fresh air from the countryside or forest areas is definitely better than the air we breathe in the cities.
Make sure that the wellness szállodák or health resort that you stay for your wellness hétvége or weekend wellness retreats have more than just a swimming pool and a sauna. You expect to be fully spoilt when you get there and you definitely deserve much more. So before you make your reservations, just check that out. Your wellness center should have a minimum of two saunas, if it has four saunas that would be even better. They should have different ranges of temperature in each and different smells too so you can choose what suits you best. Some of these spa resorts provide an additional external area for cooling. How to use it effectively should be available as no one would want to end up with a cold after a sauna.
Then some of the wellness szállodák or health spas have a solarium which you can use if you want to get a tan too. Some people find that their energy levels went up after going to a solarium. It is not a necessity but most good health resorts have them. Your wellness hétvége or wellness spa weekend will not be complete without a massage. A long and good passionate massage can be very relaxing. All wellness szállodák or wellness holiday hotels must provide for massages. The massage should be given in the resort itself and you should not have to travel some place else for it. That way the relaxation that you would get from the massage would be lost too soon.
All wellness szállodák or hotel wellness centers have pools. Make sure that the pools are not too old. If they have different pools with different smells then that is an added bonus and you can have a relaxing and enjoyable time depending on your likes. And make sure that all the wellness facilities are available at the wellness resort itself and that you don’t have to drive to the next village or town to avail of them. You can be sure that your wellness hétvége or weekend wellness retreat will be a great one.
Then there is yoga which is also promoted by many of these wellness szállodák and is good for mind, body and soul. Just lying in a hot tub, Jacuzzi or spa can be very relaxing and does wonders for your circulation by dilating the blood vessels. You can indeed have a great wellness hétvége or fitness weekend at one of these wellness szállodák or ayurveda hotels.
Is there any Experimental/Research for Cancer Treatment on Dogs? ?
I am wondering if there is ANY possible research being done for Treatment of Cancer in dogs who’s owner has no funding for Radiation and Chemo Etc? My dog has had several tumors develop in a matter of weeks and the vet said it would be *over* $1,500.00 to treat the dog. I don’t have that kind of money and I don’t want him to die because I can’t help him. What do I do now?
Do what you think is best for your dog. Go with your own insticts on this one, because it depends if you want to put the dog through any more torture or not. My father would have put our dog down sooner if he had realized sooner that there was really they could have done to save it. The dog died in it’s sleep anyway after monthes of torture.

my dog has mouth cancer (fibrosarcoma). The vet will remove lower jaw. If completely remove, whats his chance
I have found many sites saying too many different things like an 80% survival rate of 3 years to completely cured. Some say it will come back.
Point blank, is he going to die.
(also, anyone know how much the surgury should be, have already spent 1,000 on tests)
I have read some articles about using herbal remedies w/ success for oral cancer in dogs. I cant find the 1 I read but I did find this link. Not sure if it would help in this case but maybe it is an option to research further with your vet or a vet that uses both traditional and holistic cures. I hope everything works out!
