What is Cancer Screening?

Just like in people, cancer screening should be an important part of preventive care in dogs; the goal is to look for cancer when your pet is feeling well, before they start to show any clinical signs.

During wellness visits, your veterinarian may look for early signs of cancer in your dog by performing a thorough physical exam and asking you about any concerning observations. Your veterinarian may also perform routine blood and imaging tests, and may recommend OncoK9 - a new blood test that could detect cancer before your dog shows any clinical signs.

Why is Early Cancer Detection Important?

Early detection and treatment are the best ways to manage cancer in pets... cancer is frequently treatable and early diagnosis will aid your veterinarian in delivering the best care possible.

Dr. Flory joins Mike Janela to answer viewer questions about canine cancer and how a new liquid biopsy test enables veterinarians to detect cancer in dogs with a simple blood draw.

What is OncoK9?

The OncoK9 liquid biopsy test uses a simple blood draw to detect abnormal DNA released into circulation by cancer cells.

Is OncoK9 Right for My Dog?

Dogs over the age of 7 have a 9x higher risk of developing cancer, and screening with OncoK9 is recommended for all dogs starting at age 7. Furthermore, dogs belonging to certain breeds are more likely to develop cancer during their lifetime and/or are known to develop cancer earlier in life; in some cases, starting cancer screening as early as age 4 is recommended. Younger dogs and lower-risk breeds are less likely to develop the disease, but cancer could happen to any dog.
