Canos
Canos provides liquid biopsy testing for dogs, combining cancer detection with a comprehensive genomic health baseline from a single blood draw. The Origin test analyzes genetics, epigenetics, and cell-free DNA to screen for cancer signals, 346 inherited diseases, traits, and ancestry, with results delivered in about two weeks. Priced at $699 including the veterinary visit, the service also enables ongoing cancer monitoring through its OncoTrack product.

Problem
Cancer is a leading cause of death in dogs, yet early detection remains challenging because symptoms often appear only after the disease has progressed. Traditional diagnostic approaches may not catch cancer-associated molecular changes until tumors are advanced, limiting treatment options and outcomes.
Solution
Canos provides liquid biopsy testing for dogs, creating a comprehensive genomic health baseline that detects cancer-associated signals in blood. The Origin test analyzes genetics, epigenetics, and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a single blood sample to identify cancer signals while also profiling inherited health, physical traits, drug responses, and ancestry. Results are delivered in about two weeks and can be shared with veterinarians. For dogs undergoing cancer treatment, the OncoTrack product enables monitoring of molecular residual disease and changes through treatment and follow-up, allowing for more informed care decisions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are dog owners who want proactive health monitoring for their pets, as well as veterinarians seeking genomic data to inform cancer detection and treatment decisions.
