      Yes, animals can get cancer. Cats and dogs can get bone, bladder and skin cancer but these usually only happen when they are very old.

      Yes- animals all have cells like us and cells can mutate to form cancers. But external factors such as smoking can cause cancers so in that respects they may get different kinds of cancer that’s seen more in humans.

      Yes, cancer is just uncontrolled cell growth. Therefore other animals get it, even plants can get it.
