Comments (0) 
Canine Melanoma is a skin cancer found on dogs most often in the mouth, around the eyes, or in the area of the toes. While melanoma tumors found on other areas of the skin are usually benign melanoma found in the mentioned areas are most often malignant, meaning they can spread to other areas, and internal organs of the body, through the blood and lymphatic system and is usually fatal.
Many experts feel that many dogs are hereditarily predisposed to canine melanoma so knowing your dog’s breeding history can be of help in catching the disease early. Color may also be a factor in predisposition to canine melanoma and darker skinned animals appear to have a higher rate of occurrence as do certain breeds of dogs. Canine melanoma appears most often in dogs over the age of 9, but can occur at any age.
