Here’s a summary of the major potentially fatal health categories your program is designed to address, including teeth cleanings and ultrasounds:
1. **Tumor Removals:**
- **Scope:** Addresses 25-30% of late-life life-threatening conditions in dogs.
- **Objective:** To remove tumors that could be fatal if left untreated.
2. **Ultrasounds for Adult Dogs Every 12 Months:**
- **Scope:** Addresses 15-20% of life-threatening conditions in dogs.
- **Objective:** To detect and monitor internal health issues that may not be immediately visible, improving early diagnosis and treatment.
3. **Teeth Cleanings (Non-Senior Dogs Every 3 Years):**
- **Scope:** Contributes to addressing health issues, although not quantified in the same detail as tumors and ultrasounds.
- **Objective:** To prevent dental diseases and infections that could lead to more severe health problems.
4. **Remaining Life-Threatening Health Issues:**
- **Heart Disease (Non-Tumor Related, Cardiovascular):** Estimated at 10-15%.
- **Kidney Disease (Renal):** Estimated at 10%.
- **Liver Disease (Hepatic):** Estimated at 5%.
- **Diabetes (Endocrine):** Estimated at 5%.
- **Other Serious Conditions (e.g., Aggressive Cancers not Addressed by Surgery):** Estimated at 10-15%.
