Hemangiosarcoma is such a nasty cancer. Lost my GSD mix at 9 to it. It scares the crap out of me. My older female is 11, and I'm just about to take her in for a geriatric workup, including xrays. :) I do think that environment plays a part. But I just lost a near 17 year old Dobie mix in August, that lived next to a refinery her entire life. So go figure! Also ate crap food most of her life until she met me through marriage. Granted I improved her diet and stopped giving vaccines, but makes you wonder how much of it is just in their genetic makeup. Lost an oversized Sheltie at almost 16, he too ate crap food most of his life until I knew better.
