When Tricia Montgomery lost her beloved Moose to cancer, her world stopped.
But out of heartbreak came a mission — to make sure no other pet parent wakes up one morning to find it’s too late.
In this deeply moving conversation, Tricia shares how grief became fuel for purpose and how her non-profit, Moose’s March, is leading the charge for early detection of pet cancer so more dogs (and cats) can live longer, happier lives with the people who love them.
She’s not just raising awareness — she’s sparking hope.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🐾 The surprising everyday toxins hidden in toys and treats that could quietly harm your dog — and how to spot them before they do.
🐾 Why so many pet parents miss the earliest signs of cancer (and how to recognize them before it’s too late).
🐾 The truth about what’s driving the rise in cancer rates — and what you can do right now to protect your dog.
🐾 A simple, affordable pre-cancer test your vet can add to a routine check-up that could save your dog’s life.
🐾 How to turn grief into goodness — and find healing through helping others.
