CHS for vets
Providing trusted, expert-led health screening for hereditary conditions, and empowering dog breeders and owners to make informed, responsible breeding choices.
How does screening work in practice?
Breeders or owners will bring their dog to your practice for an X-ray to screen for signs of abnormalities, such as irregular or poorly shaped hip or elbow joints, which could be caused by hip or elbow dysplasia.
For Eye Scheme appointments, we have a panel of 42 expert veterinary ophthalmologists around the United Kingdom who carry out clinical eye examinations to identify inherited and non-inherited conditions.
To help you with screening, we have produced positioning posters for your practice as well as guidance videos (see below). Fill out the form below to download the posters.
Over 6,200 dogs had their hips scored in 2024
Over 5,000 dogs had their elbows graded in 2024
Over 14,000 dogs had eye examinations in 2024
