UNSURE WHERE TO START?

Ask about your dog.

Cancer suspected, already in treatment, or just a question? Start with a conversation.

Every dog has its own cfDNA profile.

Cells release tiny fragments called cell-free DNA (cfDNA) into the blood. Canos Origin records their methylation pattern as your dog’s epigenetic baseline.

What does epigenetic mean?

Chemical marks help control how cells use DNA, without changing its sequence. Methylation is one type of mark.

Developed by scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration with the Royal Veterinary College, Canos combines precision sequencing with AI to help veterinarians listen to what the blood is saying.

A diagnosis can change the future you were planning for.

You don’t need every answer to begin. Tell us what’s happening, and we’ll help you understand the options.

Just your email and an optional message to start.

THE PATIENT

Is the treatment working?

Blood-based monitoring adds another layer of information between appointments. Your vet reads it alongside scans, examinations and your dog’s care plan.
