Official Canine Disease Registries |
If you find my website
information to be useful, I encourage you
to purchase a copy of Speaking
for Spot.
It will
provide the fundamental tools and skills you
need to make the most of the information and
suggestions provided on my website and its
associated links. Speaking for Spot will
help you navigate the expensive and often
overwhelming world of veterinary medicine.
You will learn how to effectively hold up
your end of the veterinarian/client
communication process, solicit explanations
of the risks and benefits of all diagnostic
and therapeutic options, and have frank
discussion about costs. As an informed
medical advocate, you will have the ability
to make the choice that is best for your pet
as well as your own peace of mind.
Speaking for Spot
may be the best $14.00 (through
Amazon.com) you spend in 2010! I would love
to hear any ways in which Speaking
for Spot has
helped you and your pets.
Disease registries
are databases that collect breed specific
information pertaining to particular
diseases. If you are contemplating a
particular breed of dog as your next
four-legged family member, the disease
registry will provide you with
some information about the diseases to which
that breed is predisposed.
Additionally, such registries
accumulate data that may provide helpful information about
disease inheritance, trends, and insights about prevention
and therapy.
