The Kennel Club's 2014 Breed Health Survey - summary of dogs reported

Post date: Dec 30, 2014 4:28:8 PM

We are currently awaiting reports and analysis of the Kennel Club’s 2014 Breed Health Survey which was launched in November and ran until 24th December. The numbers of responses received are summarised below:

We are currently in the final stages of planning a Lifestyle Survey of Dachshunds which will be launched in early 2015. This will ask owners about how they rear, feed and exercise their dog(s), as well as reporting on any back disease. This survey is being developed with the support of the Royal Veterinary College. We hope to be able to use the results to produce improved guidance for owners on how to minimise the IVDD risks through lifestyle factors that they can influence.

You can still submit health and cause of death reports here.
