Nu.Q – Cancer Screening Test

Early Detection of Canine Cancer: A Lifesaving Opportunity for Your Dog  

Many pet parents are surprised to discover that cancer is among the most common medical conditions that can affect dogs – particularly those that are over the age of 10. While certain breeds may be more genetically predisposed to cancer, it’s a disease that can affect just about any pet at any time. The key to a positive outcome is early diagnosis. 

Beginning November 2024, Peterborough West Animal Hospital, is thrilled to begin offering the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening test to help determine the current likelihood of certain cancers — like lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma, taking the fright out of canine cancer screening.

While there are a variety of diagnostic tools that we can use to identify the signs of cancer in dogs, Nu.Q® is one of the most innovative and effective options available. This simple and affordable test can detect several common canine cancers. The test is minimally invasive, and results can be obtained within just a few days. In a peer-reviewed and published case studies, the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test was shown to detect 76% of systemic cancers.

As with humans, the earlier we can diagnose and treat cancer in pets, the better the prognosis. With Nu.Q® you have the power to be in the know and take action early. To learn more or to take advantage of this cutting-edge early screening for your furry family member, give Peterborough West Animal Hospital a call or mention it at your pet’s next appointment.
