Dog Breed Database

I was browsing the new Embrace Pet Insurance website today and came across really good information about many of the dog breeds. It details the characteristics about each breed and covers many of the diseases and problems that the breed is predisposed to. This should point out to pet owners the importance of buying a policy that covers hereditary conditions. It is likely that the problems and diseases associated with each breed in this database wouldn't be covered by a company that doesn't cover hereditary conditions. You should also take this into account if a company has limited coverage for hereditary conditions. I encourage you to visit this page. They apparently have a similar page for cats in the works. Thanks, Embrace for this valuable resource!

Interesting database. Out of my three pets (a dog and two cats) two are purebred, and both have health issues associated with their breeds. As it turns out, my other cat, who is a mixed-breed, has his own issues. But it certainly pays to be aware of what factors to consider before choosing a pet of a particular breed. I thought I was aware of the issues facing my dog's breed, but within the past few years, new genetic problems have started to surface within the breed, and I had no idea to check for those.
