CARDIAC HEALTH SCREENING CLINICS

Why OFA Screening is Important

Routine screening of breeding animals can help detect subclinical congenital or age-related diseases. Obtaining an OFA Advanced Cardiac Certification from a board-certified Cardiologist is the gold standard screening exam. Dr_Lamy_Echocardiogram2_2022

While a single congenital screening is sufficient for the life of the animal, yearly monitoring for the development of age-related diseases is recommended. 

The OFA databases are central to the organization's objective of establishing control programs to lower the incidence of inherited disease. They serve all breeds of dogs and cats and provide breeders with a means to respond to the challenge of improving the genetic health of their breed through better breeding practices.
