Dog cancer screening can save lives. Nearly half of dogs over 10 develop cancer.
That lump you found on your dog… What if you could know in just 40 seconds whether it’s something to worry about?
Introducing the HT Vista
- No needles
- No sedation
- Instant results
Here at Sheridan West Vet, we’ve invested in the HT Vista – AI cancer detection that gives you answers in 40 seconds, not weeks of worry. Half of dogs over 10 develop cancer, and early detection changes everything.
The Worry That Keeps You Up at Night
You Found a Lump...
Your heart sinks. Is it cancer? How long has it been there? Is it growing? The questions multiply faster than you can find answers.
Traditional Testing Means Waiting
Needle biopsies, lab work, days or weeks of anxiety while you wait for results. Your dog doesn’t understand why you’re worried.
Every Day Counts
If it IS cancer, early detection is everything. But if it’s not, you’re putting your dog through unnecessary stress and procedures.
Why Dog Cancer Screening Matters
What if you could get answers in 40 seconds instead of weeks? Dog cancer screening helps detect dangerous lumps before symptoms appear. According to the AVMA’s Cancer in Pets guide, nearly half of dogs over 10 develop cancer—and early detection leads to better outcomes. With HT Vista, you get a safe, fast, and non-invasive way to protect your dog’s future—and your peace of mind.
Meet the HT Vista:
AI That Sees What We Can't
Gentle Heat Detection
The device gently warms the skin by just 6°C (42°F) – completely safe and comfortable for your dog.
AI Analysis
Advanced AI monitors thermal response patterns that differ between healthy and concerning tissue.
Instant Scoring
Get a score from 1-10 with percentage likelihood that the mass is benign – results in just 2 minutes!
What Your Dog's Score Means:
The HT Vista uses heat diffusion imaging technology (HDI) to determine cancer risk. The device heats the lump by 6°C/42°F and monitors thermal activity as it cools. Different skin types react differently when heated – healthy skin maintains temperature well while unhealthy tissue does not due to differences in structure, metabolism, and blood supply. Results come back in just 2 minutes with 90% sensitivity and 98% NPV!
Score: Low risk
This means the mass’s cancer risk is below 10%. We’re happy for the mass to be monitored and rescanned if there are any changes in mass size or texture.
Score: Moderate risk
This means the mass’s cancer risk is between 10% to 50%. There’s a moderate chance the mass is malignant and further investigation is recommended. The mass might have shown some suspicious thermal features.
Score: High risk
This means the mass’s cancer risk is above 50% and further investigation is required, as there’s a high chance of malignancy.

Why dog cancer screening matters:Your Questions Answered
Give us a call and let us know you want a skin cancer screening appointment. We will book you in for a nurse consultation where a full body physical exam will be performed and discuss the location of the lumps you are concerned about. We must clip a small patch of fur from the skin so that the device can scan properly! So let us know if this is a problem. If a lump receives a high score, we can discuss sampling the mass. If the mass scores low, then we recommend monitoring for any changes.
No, the device is non-invasive and heats the skin by 6°C/42°F with an LED light, which is safe for everyone involved.
This means the mass's cancer risk is above 50% and further investigation is required, as there's a high chance of malignancy.
This means the mass's cancer risk is between 10% to 50%. There's a moderate chance the mass is malignant and further investigation is recommended. The mass might have shown some suspicious thermal features, so we'd highly recommend investigating this mass. By not sampling, we risk missing a malignant mass. Early detection offers better prognosis and treatment options.
This means the mass's cancer risk is below 10%. We're happy for the mass to be monitored and rescanned if there are any changes in mass size or texture.
The mass must be at least 0.5cm. We cannot scan masses near the eyes, on foot pads, testicles, mammary tissue, lymph nodes, or ulcerated masses due to safety and accuracy considerations.
Each mass is screened using the HT Vista screening algorithm, and if a mass meets the specificity requirements, it will also receive a diagnosis. In this case, where two masses were scanned, only one of the two masses met the specificity requirements and, therefore, received a diagnosis.
Unfortunately, not. The light is too close to the eye, therefore, might damage the eye and won't be tolerated. Also, the footpad cannot be scanned with healthy tissue which is needed to complete the scan.
We cannot scan testicles, mammary tissue, or lymph nodes as they are different type of tissues and present differently to dermal masses.
Unfortunately, due to the biological nature of the disease process, these kinds of masses are excluded from our algorithm.
The mass can be a minimum 0.5cm.
