Modified Citrus Pectin, Dogs, and Cancer

We came across this interesting article on Modified Citrus Pectin and got one of our veterinary experts, Dr. Al Townsend, to share his thoughts before we linked to it.

Dr. Al says:

This is a great article from two highly respected veterinary oncologists. Together, they wrote the book on cancer “Dog Cancer Survival Guide”.

Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) would be a great addition to the diet of any pet with cancer.  Further reading suggests that not all MCP is the same. Molecular size is important. 15 kilodaltons is the molecular size recommended. Many products are much larger and don’t have the same effect.
