My dog has been on the Banfield Wellness Plan for a few years, but I am discovering that it is not one of the best health plans. Her current plan only allows her to get treated at the Banfield Hospital that the plan was signed up under, and they don’t have extended hours. They are always closed on Sundays and Mondays, and it’s difficult to find a vet that doesn’t charge too much for anything. I’m trying to look for a different pet health insurance plan where I can take her anywhere any time during the week or weekend.

Rogue Bulles is taking a break! asked:


What genetic health testing do you do? What is it called and what is it testing for? What breed do you have and why do you test for it?

Thanks!
Yes I know of them, just interested to know what breeders test for and what breeds and why.
Do you do the tests on just the dogs you breed or the pups before also before they go to new homes? (not the OFA ones because I know they have to be 2 years old at least)

Dellajoy asked:


Some guy wrote a letter to the editor complaining about people who pay so much attention to their dogs and spend money on them when there are charities that need help. Some people have written in to tell him that while they own dogs they also contribute to charities, etc and how dare he tell them what their hobbies should be. I’d like to write a short response of my own mentioning health benefits since no one has touched on that subject yet.

Blank asked:


By a short front, I mean that her back end is taller than her front end. Will this cause any health problems (hip problems, etc.) in the future for her?
She’s almost two.
There isn’t a huge difference at all, but you can clearly see the angle as she has short front legs.

BAT asked:


So my mom has this stupid little dog that likes to pee on the carpet in the hallway. My mom doesn’t even care! She does nothing to even try and potty train the dog and when I have try ed to she under minds everything I do. So at this point I have had it with this crap and I want to know what bad health effects are from that. Every time I try ed looking that up online all I find is stuff about cat pee.
