Oncollect
At-home Veterinary Oncology Screening
Dogs cannot tell us when something is wrong, yet they enrich human lives every day.
They deserve proactive care that helps owners stay informed about their health.
Early cancer detection can save lives, but testing often happens too late.
Cancer is the leading cause of canine mortality accounting for 47% of deaths in dogs over the age of ten—roughly 2 million dogs each year in the United States. Currently many diagnostic tests require inconvenient sample collection, invasive equipment, or a visit to a clinic.
“How can a convenient system for pet owners make them feel more confident in their dog’s health?”
This project was in partnership with Arion Diagnostics Advanced Technologies. Without their advances in veterinary care, this project would not be possible.
Oncollect is the best solution to convenient cancer screening compared to other solutions on the market such as urine or blood sampling.
Blood sampling requires veterinary help with makes it an expensive process.
Urine collection is not very hygienic and comfortable for human or dog.
Collecting nails from a dog is an easy process, even for first time dog owners.
Oncollect is an at-home system allowing pet owners to screen their dog for cancer by clipping its nails, and getting results quickly.
The Oncollect kit comes with an engineered nail clipper designed to cut 300 micron (.3 mm) samples for quick analysis at the lab.
