Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the Canine Health
Information Center (CHIC)
-------------------------------------------------------------

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA)
A steadfast supporter of the Canine Health Foundation, The Orthopedic
Foundation for Animals (OFA) is a founding donor and has contributed
nearly $150,000 to the Canine Health Foundation in support of canine
health. The objectives of the OFA include collating and disseminating
information concerning orthopedic and genetic diseases of animals. In
this role, the OFA advises, encourages, and establishes control
programs to lower the incidence of orthopedic and genetic diseases,
and finances the research that will lead to cures in these diseases.
Over the past 10 to 15 years the OFA has recognized that a variety of
heritable diseases impact animal health. As scientific advancements
enhanced the ability to diagnose heritable diseases, the OFA has
supported development of diagnostic criteria and databases for a
number of genetic diseases in addition to hip dysplasia. The OFA also
supports studies on animal wellness through financial contributions
and is a wonderful partner of the AKC Canine Health Foundation.
Through its support of such projects, the OFA hopes to provide
resources for the further understanding of, and ultimately prevention
of genetic diseases. For more information, please visit: www.offa.org.

CHIC maintains a central health information system in a manner that
will support research into canine disease and provide health
information to owners and breeders. For more information about CHIC,
