Are Shelties prone to cancer?

Unfortunately, cancer is a concern for Shelties, as it is for many dog breeds. Hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, and osteosarcoma are among the types of cancers that can affect Shelties. Early detection through regular veterinary check-ups and being aware of any changes in your Sheltie’s behavior, appetite, or physical condition can help in catching and treating potential health issues, including cancer, as early as possible.
