PetPace monitors vital signs for Osteosarcoma in dogs, including pain score, wellness score, activity score, changes in posture routine, pulse rate, HRV, respiratory rate, and temperature.
This aids in early detection and effective management, improving the quality of life for dogs affected by Osteosarcoma.
What is Osteosarcoma in dogs?
Osteosarcoma is a malignant cancer originating from bone cells, commonly affecting large and giant dog breeds. It is locally invasive, leading to bone destruction and overgrowth, and often metastasizes to other areas, such as the lungs.

How can PetPace assist in managing canine cancer, specifically Osteosarcoma?
PetPace can aid in early detection and treatment efficacy assessment by monitoring various parameters, such as decreased pain score, decreased wellness score, deviations from the health profile, decreased activity score, changes in posture routine (decreased time spent laying on the stomach), increased pulse rate, decreased HRV (Heart Rate Variability), increased respiratory rate, and elevated temperature.
What are some signs that PetPace can detect to indicate potential issues related to Osteosarcoma?
PetPace monitors signs such as changes in pain score, wellness score, activity score, posture routine, pulse rate, HRV, respiratory rate, and temperature to identify potential issues related to Osteosarcoma.
How does PetPace contribute to the early detection of illness in dogs with Osteosarcoma?
PetPace contributes to early detection of bone cancer by continuously monitoring and analyzing key health indicators, enabling pet owners and veterinarians to identify potential health issues promptly.
In what ways can PetPace help in assessing the efficacy of Osteosarcoma treatments?
PetPace aids in treatment efficacy assessment by tracking changes in various health parameters, allowing pet owners and veterinarians to gauge the effectiveness of the chosen treatment plan.
