Members remember to give your input on possible Health Testing Input on the Member Page
The purpose of ATCA's Australian Terrier Health page is : 1. To increase public awareness of the issues and available resources relating to the health and well-being of our breed . 2. To help ATCA monitor the state of health and average life expectancy of the Australian Terrier on a continuing basis.
It is the intent of the Australian Terrier Club of America Health Committee to be available via the web and email to as many Aussie owners as possible. We wish to emphasize from the outset that these questionnaires are not limited to ATCA members, but are for anyone from around the world who owns or has loved an Australian Terrier in life.
Our Health Incident Report was developed as a feedback tool for every Aussie owner whose dog(s) may have experienced health problems, especially those owners who have lost contact with their breeder, or who may have adopted an Australian Terrier from a pet store or shelter. Each of the downloadable forms that appears below was designed to be filled out on the computer using MS Word and then returned by email to us as an attachment. Alternatively, for those who do not have access to Word, the forms may also be downloaded using the free Adobe Reader plug-in, then printed off and filled-in by hand.
If you have lost an Australian Terrier to illness or injury and would like to help others in honor of your Aussie's memory, we ask that you fill out our Longevity Survey. Your much-needed participation in this area will enable us to identify mortality issues affecting our breed and allow us to better focus our resources in such areas when allocating funds for research.
All responses given will remain STRICTLY confidential and will be utilized by the ATCA Health committee only for the purpose of identifying important breed health problems and trends. Your identity and that of your dog will be anonymous.
We wish to thank you in advance for your desire to support the Australian Terrier by helping us to make a difference.
Health Questions Our Health Committee can help you develop questions to ask your veterinarian.
