Help Us Train Life-Saving Dogs to Detect Bowel Cancer

Right now, seven amazing dogs — Hetty, Willow, Jodie, Rosie, Mango, Callie, and Dotty — are at a critical point in their cancer detection training. They’ve been learning to detect the smell of bowel cancer in urine samples — a non-invasive, fast, and potentially life-saving approach to early cancer detection.

We now need to raise £130,000 by the end of June to complete the next vital stage of this research and prove scientifically that these dogs can help change the future of cancer screening.

Without urgent support, this revolutionary project could come to a halt.

Why It Matters

Someone is diagnosed with bowel cancer every 15 minutes in the UK.

46 people die every day from the disease.

It's the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths.

85% of patients undergo invasive colonoscopies that often reveal no serious illness.

Many avoid screening due to discomfort, fear or embarrassment.

We believe dogs can help. Due to the invasive nature of the colonoscopy screening process, only just over half of those offered will take it up. The less invasive faecal sampling is not very specific and patients often still require a colonscopy. By using urine samples — instead of poo samples — we can reduce stigma and embarrassment, increase screening uptake and detect cancer earlier and more comfortably.
