RVC collaborates to reveal health issues in different dog breeds
A Royal Veterinary College (RVC) veterinary researcher has been involved in an exciting collaboration to create a single resource, in an easy-to-read book format, that identifies the health issues that each dog and cat breed is predisposed to.
