## Description

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is a non-profit organization established in 1966 by John M. Olin, with a mission to enhance the health and well-being of companion animals by reducing the occurrence of genetic diseases. Initially focusing on hip dysplasia, OFA has expanded its scope to include various inherited diseases in dogs and cats. Offering services like radiographic evaluation, genetic counseling, and funded research, OFA has allocated nearly $3 million towards combating inherited animal diseases. Their databases and DNA Repository support breeders in making informed decisions to improve genetic health through responsible breeding practices. The Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) database provides a centralized platform for health data collection, guiding breeding choices and facilitating research. With a focus on molecular-level research, OFA continually strives to advance the fight against genetic diseases in animals. Contact OFA to learn more about their services and contributions to companion animal health.
