** Important Message from our Director of Studies, Jo Middleton **

Today I’m heading to the House of Lords for something that feels genuinely historic for canine welfare ... the official launch of the Innate Health Assessment (IHA) Tool.

For as long as I can remember I have advocated to end the cruelty that humans have inflicted up dogs through breeding for aesthetics.

To be blunt, we have bred suffering into generations of animals who never asked for it.

Flat faces.
Spines that don't flex.
Bulging eyes.
Compromised breathing.
Painful skin, joints, and neurological issues.

All because, somewhere along the line, how dogs looked and our human egos became more important than welfare.

But today marks the beginning of a shift.

The IHA Tool, brain child of the All Parliamnetary Group for Animal Welfare, is launching.

This 10 point assessment is built from 15 years of RVC research and supported across the veterinary and welfare sectors. It gives everyone, including breeders and prospective guardians, a simple, accessible way to assess what healthy, innate conformation truly looks like.

And I’m incredibly proud that International Institute For Canine Ethics, Canine Principles and The International School for Canine Psychology and Behaviour - ISCP are supporters of this work amongst many others like our Canine Principles partners the BSAVA, RVC, the Kennel Club, Dogs Trust, Blue Cross, Battersea, Wood Green, Hope Rescue and many others ❤️.

Education and compassionate positive action at this level are truly powerful.

This tool empowers ordinary people to make extraordinary change.
It removes the guesswork.
It removes the excuses.
And, if used widely, it will save countless dogs from a lifetime of preventable suffering.

Today isn’t about blame.
It’s about progress.
It’s about choosing better for the dogs of tomorrow and giving people the knowledge to do so.

I completely get that many might look at this with scepticism and think, "people won’t use it." I know that not everyone will. But this is a MASSIVE leap of progress. And every guardian or breeder who does use the tool is one step closer to preventing a lifetime of suffering for a dog.

A breeding revolution has officially begun.

And I’m beyond excited to be standing in the room where it starts.

FIP: the chameleon
It can look like other diseases

Other diseases can look like it.

It can show up as different symptoms, and unfortunately there's no effective vaccine for it.

Best thing is to educate yourself and maintain good herd hygiene to reduce the chances of transmission and if unlucky, recognise the symptoms earlier.

It’s crazy, but visual comprehension is 60,000 times FASTER than reading plain text

It’s also crazy that we finally have a treatment option that can work for our FIP cats🙏

Some of the medical Options available for management of allergic/atopic skin conditions.
-Apoquel (a daily/ as required tablet)
-Cytopoint ( a monthly injection)

Ask your regular vet or contact us to arrange a check up and discussion if these might be suitable for your pet's skin condition 😃

Apoquel (oclacitinib) is a medication used in dogs to manage itchiness caused by airborne allergens.
Apoquel works by disrupting the immune response that causes itching and inflammation.
Apoquel for dogs is a safe, long-term allergy treatment with few side effects. But it may increase your dog’s risk for skin infections.

Cytopoint is a prescription injection for dogs that treats itching caused by environmental allergies, known as atopic dermatitis. It works by targeting and blocking the protein that sends itch signals to the brain, providing relief that can last for 4 to 8 weeks with a single injection.

Backyard breeders are:
- Whoever thinks "oh so easy make money, just sell puppies"
- usually does not care or know about inbreeding
- usually uses words like "big bon3" (no bones big sis. Its the breed. Standard size)
- do not let you see mother(dam)/ father(sire) & home environment
- likes to sell you as young as possible 6 weeks old , maybe no first vaccine even (If less than 6 weeks and got vaccine already, red flag)
- tells u to feed chicken and rice only

--list is not exhaustive, and just for example and awareness--
Main point: do your research before buying & support RESPONSIBLE breeder, instead of see price only.

DON’T FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL!

It may be really disappointing or frustrating when our dogs are not the social beings we expected them to be.

Many people assume dogs should just naturally get along with other dogs, after all they’re the same species.

Some believe the “unsociable” dog has a behaviour problem that needs to be “fixed”.

Early, appropriately timed and proper socialisation is really important, but sometimes despite all of this, some dogs are just not that sociable or socially selective to varying degrees.

Sometimes this can be improved, especially if the cause is from a negative experience, but genetics, breed tendencies, individual personalities, health and age all contribute to tolerance and sociability, which also change throughout a dog’s lifetime.

If we, as a human species, don’t get along with everyone we meet, how can we expect our dogs to?

Do we label or try to fix every person that has an argument; doesn’t make friends with everyone they meet, dislikes some people, or just prefers not to be social as having a problem that needs to be fixed?

Why is it so easy to accept that every individual person is different than to accept that every individual dog is different?

When we have done what we can to improve our dogs’ social skills, we need to accept and acknowledge our dogs for the individuals they are, allow and respect their choice of whether to be sociable or not and never force interactions that dogs are not comfortable with.
