How can you help support the health of Borzoi into the future? You can donate money to the Canine Health Foundation BCOA Donor Advised Fund or directly to BCOA Health via the button at the left. Your donations will be used to support research, and provide low-cost screening tests. Second, share information. Information can be shared by participating in OFA screening clinics and requesting the information be placed into the open database. Without any cost to you, information about your Borzoi's health can be shared through the OFA Borzoi Health Survey. This survey has been considered by OFA as the Gold Standard for their breed-specific health surveys. Further, information must be shared with your Borzoi's breeder so that he or she can make informed decisions in the future. You can also participate in Borzoi-related research whenever possible. Also, if you utilize the BCOA Holter Rental Program, you will appreciate significant savings if you share the Holter report with BCOA Health and provide updates on your participating dog's future heart health.
We all value the overall great health enjoyed by Borzoi. It is only with your help and support that we can ensure that the Borzoi of the future continues to remain one of great health and vitality.
