About Oncotect | Oncotect Cancer Screening Test for Dogs

Imagine a world where every companion animal has access to the best oncology care, where hope and comfort are not out of reach.

Oncotect is a convenient and reliable solution for people who want to make informed decisions about the care of their pets and prevent unnecessary loss.

About Us

When planning the care of your companion, time is of the essence. Early screening helps us keep animals healthy, prepare for financial implications, and manage the well-being of caretakers too. That’s why Oncotect is special. Unlike other tests that require blood, our tests use urine. This non-invasive test is more comfortable and convenient for the animals but also fast and accurate—meaning more pet owners will screen their pets earlier and often.

At Oncotect, we give veterinarians the tools they need to give people answers about their pets so they have more time to study options. More time for walks. More time to find that lost bone or visit a neighborhood friend.

We made your pet’s time our business. Because we think every animal deserves the best possible care and no pet owner should have to wonder if they could have done more.
