If you have a Berner suspected or diagnosed with cancer, would you be willing to participate in a research project by sending a sample(s) of urine? If so, a urine collection kit with supplies and prepaid return shipping included, will be provided at no cost. This collection does not require a vet and can easily be done at home.

Berner-Garde in partnership with the BMDCA have funded a research project with Rametrix® Technologies Inc. (RTI), a medical analytics company studying detection of many diseases in humans and dogs including cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and even infectious disease such as Lyme and Covid 19.

The purpose of this research is to develop a urine based test for the earliest and easiest detection of cancer, thereby improving treatment outcomes.

If you have a Berner with a suspected or confirmed cancer diagnosis, please consider contributing your dog's urine sample(s) to help future generations.

Please spread the word. We are looking for 250 participants!
