For over nine years, Franklin has been a beloved member of the Noll-Mcclintock family—a funny, smart, and playful 8-year-old rescue dog. Two years ago, Franklin faced a challenging diagnosis: an incurable cancer originating in his spleen. Determined to give Franklin the best possible care, his mom Chelsea Noll-Mcclintock, and his veterinary oncologist, Dr. Dorothy Girimonte from Haven Animal Health, turned to FidoCure for help.
Our platform offers an AI-driven precision medicine approach to canine cancer treatment. We analyze a dog's tumor and identify specific genetic mutations that can be targeted with precision therapies. These targeted treatments, originally developed for human cancer, have proven remarkably effective in treating canine cancer. Using advanced AI technology, we analyze the world's largest clinico-genomic database of canine cancer, comprising over 2 billion real-world data points, to identify the most suitable personalized therapies for each dog.
Our approach goes beyond cancer treatment, as every dog enrolled in our platform contributes to a growing database. This continuous collection of cancer data helps accelerate the development of new therapeutics for dogs, like Franklin, and potentially even humans facing cancer.
Franklin has been responding exceptionally well to his FidoCure-provided targeted therapy. Dr. Girimonte recently examined him and reported, "Franklin is doing great with no evidence of disease. His mom reports he's still playing with his toys, and he loves getting treats at his recheck visits."

We are thrilled that Franklin is thriving and enjoying more quality time with his family. Stories like Franklin's are the very reason we do what we do at FidoCure. We remain committed to helping more dogs facing cancer continue living happy, healthy lives.

**FidoCure® is an advanced cancer-care service for dogs, developed by One Health Company**. DISCLAIMER: All patients are enrolled in FidoCure® by a veterinarian with a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR). We use best efforts to inform the veterinarian on available targeted therapy options for patients. FidoCure® does not prescribe therapy. The targeted therapies that veterinarians may prescribe and order from compounding pharmacies, after receiving genetic test results from FidoCure®, may constitute extra-label uses of those drugs. FidoCure® makes no claims that every patient will have genetic test results that lead to targeted therapy options. FidoCure® makes no claims or guarantees about the effectiveness of the diagnostic and targeted therapy selected by the veterinarian for an individual patient. Like most cancer care approaches, the services provided by FidoCure® are not a guarantee of a cure. FidoCure® is not a pharmacy and does not supply drugs directly. By ordering any medication via one of our pharmacy partners, you agree that the pharmacy, not FidoCure®, is solely responsible and liable for any and all issues relating to the preparation, dispensation and fulfillment of the medication. The lifetime offer is subject to the commercially reasonable availability of any medication(s) and/or active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) necessary for the selected therapy.
