Actually it is truly amazing what people will spend on their pets.
It is big business.
A couple years back my wifes cat developed bone cancer in her front leg.
Fairly young cat but dear to my wife for specific reasons I will not get into here.
We decided to amputate it ( 2nd opinoin vet said it would never spread) and she is now a three-legged cat.
But during the course of discussions with the first vet we were given the references to centers that specifically do chemo for animals after cancer surgery.
I was amazed at how many there were in the NY Metro area and expressed it to the vet.
He said people use them all the time either in conjunction with surgery, or as an alternative.
If I remember right the first vet recommended 2-3 times a week for about 3 months.
Add up that cost.
Now if Advaxis ever is a viable option at the cost per does they are claiming, there would certainly be a market for pets.

you think people are going to spend whatever it is they plan on charging to save an animal from cancer

I said cervical cancer, I did not talk about other HPV cancers. Yes people will spend lots of money to save their pets, and this type of cancer in dogs occurs all to often.
