Healthy Support for Crufts from Dog Charities and Vets

The Kennel Club has today confirmed that there will be a dedicated Health Zone at Crufts 2009 and that 20 well known dog charities and veterinary organisations will attend the event, in order to achieve the shared objective of breeding happy, healthy dogs.

There will be a brand new Health Zone at Crufts where vets and scientific experts from the British Veterinary Association and the Animal Health Trust will talk to dog lovers about a range of dog health topics including Kennel Club health initiatives, health screening and DNA tests.

Amongst others, dog owners will be able to talk to breed experts about choosing the right dog for them, at the Discover Dogs area, and speak to Kennel Club Accredited Breeders about how to ensure that they buy a puppy whose health and welfare has been put first and foremost.
