Expert OFA Certifications and PennHIP Evaluations for Breeders

As a responsible dog breeder, ensuring the health and wellbeing of your breeding dogs is paramount. That's why health testing through expert certifications like OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and PennHIP evaluations are essential tools in maintaining the genetic integrity of your breeding program.

At Down Home Veterinary Services, located in Dundee, OH, breeders in Holmes County have access to a range of OFA certifications including hips, elbows, heart, patellas, thyroid, shoulders, and dentition. These certifications provide valuable information about your dog's genetic health, helping you make informed breeding decisions that can prevent the spread of hereditary diseases within your lines.
