Cardiology

OFA Certification

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (www.offa.org) is a breed registry/database for purebred animals.  If you intend to breed your animal, and it is a breed for which cardiac disease is known or suspected to be inherited, you should have your animal screened for cardiac disease before breeding.  You can download the forms from the OFA website.  Please fill in the appropriate sections before your pet’s certification appointment.
