Canine Health
Whether your dog is healthy or affected by a disease, the amount of information available on canine health can be overwhelming. We want to help you make sense of it all with factual disease descriptions, genetic test information, breed specific health concerns and more. The information provided here is no substitute for the care of a veterinarian. Make sure your dog is getting regular check-ups, and your vet should always be your first call in the event of an emergency.

Resources
We have assembled resources for dog owners to find additional canine health information on the web. The lists include breed parent clubs, parent club health foundations, veterinary specialist organizations and other canine health resources.
