Charity number: 1124533 (England & Wales)

We are a charity dedicated to training dogs in the detection and recognition of human disease by odour.

Cancer and Bio-detection Dogs
Our first study that was published in the British Medical Journal in 2004 showed that dogs can be trained to identify the odour of cancer within urine. This potentially unknown finding indicated the potential for a new method of diagnosing cancer which would be simple, quick and non-invasive. Clinicians and scientists are studying the data collected to help them in the development of an electronic nose.

Charity number: 900380 (England & Wales)

The Trust supports the Veterinary School at the University of Bristol through funding for equipment and clinical facilities for the treatment and hospitalisation of animals. Veterinary science and skills are advancing at the same breakneck speed as medical science but are much more complex, encompassing as they do smaller companion animals, high value large animals such as blood stock and rare breeds and the exotic creatures and stranger species that many of our students encounter both at home and, increasingly, overseas. The most up-to-date equipment needed for new advanced techniques is vital but expensive and facilities for animals undergoing such treatment must be superlative.
