The first molecular at-home heart screening for your dog.

CuorEasy measures specific microRNAs (miRNAs) found in your dog's saliva. MicroRNAs are small biological molecules that reflect the health of tissues — including the heart. Changes in their levels can signal early alterations of the mitral valve, before clinical signs appear.

CuorEasy is the first salivary molecular screening test for canine MMVD based on microRNA analysis. Its uniqueness sits on three pillars:

• Early detection: it identifies molecular signals in the initial stages of the disease, when echocardiography and auscultation may still come back as normal or ambiguous.

• Simple and gentle: a soft 30-second saliva swab at home.

• Designed for population-level screening: today, early identification of MMVD relies on specialist echocardiography. CuorEasy makes first-line molecular screening accessible to dog owners through a simple, gentle at-home swab.^⁠11

MMVD develops silently for years: in its initial stage (ACVIM B1), the heart murmur is often faint or inaudible during a routine auscultation.

A study on 8,860 dogs showed that general practitioners detect the murmur on average at 8.6 years of age, whereas specialist cardiologists identify it as early as 7.2 — a gap of roughly 1.4 years of diagnostic delay.^⁠2⁠4

MMVD is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs and often progresses without obvious clinical signs for years.

Mitral valve disease accounts for about 3 in 4 heart diseases in dogs.

In predisposed breeds the figures are significant: in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel up to 90% develop the disease by age 10.

The EPIC study showed that identifying MMVD in its early stage enables the vet to start targeted treatment at the right time.^⁠2⁠3

In the EPIC study, in dogs at an early stage with an already enlarged heart, treatment started at the right time delayed the onset of symptoms by more than a year. Every dog is different: your vet always decides the treatment.^⁠7

CuorEasy — a consumer salivary molecular screening, sold through pet shops, performed at home by the owner. Kit + analytical service. Qualitative result with two outcomes (favourable / further investigation recommended).

VetVisionDXC® MMVD | PRO — a professional molecular test performed at a veterinary clinic from a blood sample, with a report signed by the laboratory. Used by the vet to inform specific clinical decisions.

The two products are complementary: CuorEasy is the accessible "first level"; VetVisionDXC® MMVD | PRO is the professional's tool.

Yes, and that is precisely why identifying it early makes the difference. The plan is always set by the vet, who — depending on your dog's specific case — may choose between:

• Nutritional and dietary support (cardiac diet, weight control)

• Drug therapy

• Surgical valve repair, in selected cases and at referral centres

The CuorEasy report does not replace the veterinary visit: it is a first-line tool. The vet will determine the most appropriate approach for your dog.^⁠2

Each kit shows its expiry date (MM/YYYY) on the bottom of the box. Once you have collected the sample, return it within 3 days at the drop-off option set for your kit (Partner Pet Store or paperless courier).

Absolutely yes, and that is exactly what we recommend. The report includes useful references for your trusted vet, and CuorEasy is explicitly designed as a first-line tool to bring to your next appointment, not as a replacement for the clinical assessment.

The test is designed for dogs over 12 months. For most dogs it is worth doing from 7 years of age; in predisposed small breeds, such as the Cavalier King Charles and the Chihuahua, even earlier. The quiz tells you in one minute whether it suits your dog.

It is a soft swab: 15 seconds on each cheek, 30 seconds in total.

CuorEasy is available in selected partner pet shops and with home delivery: write to help@moovet.eu to receive it.
