Dog Health Group: 1st annual report
Report highlights continuing progress made towards improved pedigree dog health.

The Dog Health Group has been tasked with ensuring that dogs are bred to enjoy healthy, happy lives. They play a seminal role in influencing Kennel Club policy and guiding health projects.

Key achievements for the group thus far have been:

1)Most breeds now have a single nominated health coordinator and that the scheme is progressing well.
2)The publication of an information guide for veterinary surgeons, to help enhance their understanding of each breed.
3)The introduction of a veterinary assessment of best of breed winners belonging to 14 high-profile breeds at general and group championship shows before their award is confirmed.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: "Over the last year our priorities have bee to make changes to ensure that our Accredited Breeder Scheme is more robust than ever, so that puppy buyers have confidence about who to buy from and that dog shows only reward healthy dogs in the show ring.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
