We were talking about this the other day and I know each case must be taken on its merits but I am of the firm belief that the owner is doing it for themselves in the main because nobody (or dog if it could talk) would voluntarily put themselves through chemo and all the other awful side effects if they had the choice.
A friend sometimes works where this is done and says you see the dogs come in on the Monday, quite bright and bushy tailed; they stay in for 2 days while having the treatment and to recover; they go back home on the Thursday ;looking awful, tucked up and obviously feeling like shite. They have the weekend at home and then on Monday the whole cycle starts again.
Would you feel fair putting your pet through all that when apparently, there is not a lot of evidence to say it actually works? I wouldn't or couldn't, I would have to let go I'm afraid.
