Welcome to Panther Creek Pet Clinic!

Dear Pet Parent, 

Finally, there is a blood test for early cancer detection in dogs!

Panther Creek Pet Clinic is offering our first-ever Canine Cancer Screening Day, Thursday, May 26^th, 8:30-11:30 AM, featuring OncoK9.

DATE: 5.26.22

TIME: 8:30-11:30 AM

For the first time, your veterinarian can detect cancer with a routine blood draw. OncoK9 is a first-in-class multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. It utilizes the same cutting-edge genomic sequencing technology that has revolutionized early cancer detection in human patients. 

Cancer is by far the single most common cause of death in adult dogs—approximately six million are diagnosed with the disease annually in the United States. Unfortunately, it is typically diagnosed in an advanced stage, when treatment options are limited. All too often, it cuts short the lives of dogs who might have enjoyed many healthy years with their families had the disease been found sooner. Early detection provides the greatest chance of a successful outcome.

OncoK9 can detect 30 different cancer types, including eight of the most common cancers in dogs. It is recommended as an annual screening test for all dogs starting at 7 years of age and potentially at younger ages for dogs belonging to breeds that are predisposed to cancer. 

As with any laboratory test, OncoK9 results should be interpreted by a veterinarian in the context of each patient's medical history and clinical presentation. The test is available by prescription only.

For a limited time, the company is offering a $200 Amazon rebate as well as up to $1000 for additional diagnostics for a patient who receives a positive result.

To participate in our Canine Cancer Screening Day, or if you would like to have the OncoK9 test added to your dog's wellness exam, please call 281.367.7733.
