Can hairless dogs get skin cancer?

also can dog's skin tan or devolop freckles and moles like us?

Can hairless dogs get skin cancer?
Animals do get cancers like humans do.


However, it is believed that it takes several years for a cancer to develop.


Since most animals are short-lived compared to humans, unless the animals are exposed to radiation and carcinogenic chemicals, they will hardly get cancer before they die of other causes.


If an animal does get a cancer - usually it will spread much faster than it would in a human.
Reply:I don't see why not.
Reply:They absolutely can develop skin cancer. Especially light skinned dogs. Apply sunscreen . They do not tan but may develop moles.It commonly happens in middle aged dog. This site will help you:
