Dog health issues
Health testing and screening
Breeders and owners can screen their dogs for a number of different genetic conditions. Find out why health screening is important.
Breed health co-ordinators
Breed health co-ordinators (BHCs) work on behalf of breed clubs and councils. They advocate for their breed's health and welfare.
Health testing clinics offer health screening or DNA testing at events organised by breed clubs and veterinary associations. Find a clinic near you.
We need owners and dogs to participate in research studies, to help scientists find solutions to dog health problems. Browse research projects that need your help.
