Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Disorders Recorded in Dogs Attending Primary-Care Veterinary Practices in England
TL;DR: The results suggest that, for maximal impact, breeding reforms should target commonly-diagnosed complex disorders that are amenable to genetic improvement and should place special focus on at-risk breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longevity and mortality of owned dogs in England.
TL;DR: The results of multivariable modelling indicated that longevity in crossbred dogs exceeded purebred dogs by 1.2 years and that increasing bodyweight was negatively correlated with longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longevity and mortality of cats attending primary care veterinary practices in England
TL;DR: In cats dying at or after 5 years, being crossbred, having a lower bodyweight, and being neutered and non-insured were associated with increased longevity, and important causes of mortality and breed-related associations with compromised longevity were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and risk factors for canine epilepsy of unknown origin in the UK
TL;DR: The current study highlights the clinical importance of epilepsy as a canine disorder in the UK and suggests increased awareness of sex and breed predispositions may assist clinicians with diagnosis.
