What questions need to go into a scientific survey of our dogs health?
Posted on December 27th, 2009 by admin
I am specifically interested in the long term results of diet, vaccination and anti parasitics.
What questions do I ask in the survey?
Dog Age – important in considering what is due to age and what is due to diet, vaccination or deworming medications; when the dog was acquired is also important, as a puppy or adult
Dog Breed – important to distinguish between genetic characteristics and affects of diet, vaccination, etc.
Diet – what is the diet and has the diet always been the same or what is the diet history, what treats are given, is the dog given table scraps
Vaccinations – Which vaccinations has the dog had and when did they have them? Were they split vaccines or combined? Did they give all the vaccines on the same day or different days/alternating years?
Anti-parasitics – when and how often has the dog been on anti-parasetics
Health – what is the dog’s overall health? Any major concerns
Exercise – how often is the dog exercised, what type of exercise
