It’s estimated that about 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will contract cancer at some point in their lives. But thanks to a new dog cancer test that’s about to hit the market, pet owners may be able to find out if their pup has early signs of cancer faster than traditional testing.
This new test – developed by researchers in the College of Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, analyzes a dog’s urine to look for cancer markers.
This technology is reportedly 90 percent accurate. This is compared to the 60 percent accuracy of cancer-screening blood tests, which are expensive, performed in a lab, and require pet owners to have to wait days for results.
