Everyone says to be sure that the puppies’ parents have health clearances. What are the different health clearances?
Health clearances are tests that are conducted by a veterinarian to check whether a dog has any health issues (both hereditary and non-hereditary). These checks are needed so that breeder can make an informed decision when breeding animals. It is important as although we can’t prevent all health issues such as hip dysplasia and thyroid disease, breeders can reduce the probability of it happening by checking the breeding stock.
