 A great deal of the illness we see in dogs and cats is breed related.

 Some heritable diseases can be tested for, enabling earlier diagnosis and intervention.

 Some simply require awareness on the part of the owner as to what to watch for and when to call the veterinarian.

 DNA screening is becoming an increasingly important component of pet healthcare.

 Our goal is to try to make sure that every owner of an at‐risk breed knows about the diseases and problems that could affect their dog or cat and the testing or treatment that is currently available for them.
