With over ten years of experience in dog training, we realize that we can help save lives. People will have a better chance of surviving if they can detect cancer at an early stage. And our dogs can do that.

Cancer Screening Dogs has spent thousands of hours, spanning many years, developing the scientific protocols that are needed to train cancer detection dogs and their handlers.

Cancer remains the second most common cause of death in the US, accounting for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths (American Cancer Society). There are no accurate screening methods for the early detection of most types of cancer.

Note: A dog can never make a precise diagnosis. It is the responsibility of the patient to consult with a qualified doctor to confirm or deny any result arising from this test.
The primary benefit is that early detection leads to a better success rate for a cure. Our medical scent detection dogs have a success rate of over 90%. Currently, there are no medical devices that can match the sensitivity and accuracy of a dog’s nose.
A dog has a powerful nose containing 300 million sensors, while a human nose has only 5 million. Dogs also have a second advantage, a second smelling device in the backs of their noses, called Jacobson’s organ. The dual smelling systems allow trained dogs to detect cancer’s unique odors, called volatile organic compounds or VOCs.
The Helsinki University researched why dogs can smell cancer. All the tumors have a specific, unique scent or VOC because of the so-called “cancer molecule.”
With training, our dogs can recognize this scent. They can perform screening and decide by analyzing the patient´s scent sample, whether there is or isn´t a tumor in the body.
“I absolutely believe that [dogs] can detect cancer.” Cynthia M. Otto, DVM, Ph.D., director of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) Working Dog Center
“She kept staring at me and lunging at my chest. It led me to find a lump.” Claire Guest, CEO, Medical Detection Dogs, telling CNN how her dog caught her breast cancer ear.
Dogs have 10,000 times more powerful and accurate smell receptors than humans. They can smell samples and detect cancer in people with 97% accuracy.
Whenever dogs find a cancerous sample, they sit next to that sample. They were rewarded for detecting the right sample. What was the outcome of that study?
It has been proven that trained dogs can detect colorectal cancer with high levels of accuracy by sniffing out people’s breath and watery stools, even at early stages.
