Find Your Paws & Dr. Charlie Astle Collaborate: A Breakthrough in Pet Health Standards
In today’s digital age, where pet adoption and sales platforms have become a dominant force in connecting breeders with potential pet owners, the responsibility to ensure the health and welfare of our furry friends rests heavily on the shoulders of these platforms. Recognising this responsibility, Find Your Paws, a revolutionary pet advertising platform, has taken a proactive step towards prioritising animal welfare and has devised a comprehensive system of recommended health checks for high-risk dog and cat breeds, setting a new industry standard.

The Need for Standardised Health Checks
Over the years, concerns have arisen regarding the health conditions of certain dog and cat breeds due to irresponsible breeding practices. These concerns not only affect the well-being of the animals but also mislead potential pet owners who may be unaware of the inherent health risks associated with specific breeds. Recognising this gap, Find Your Paws saw an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by implementing a system that prioritises the health and welfare of pets.
Find Your Paws and Our System of Recommended Health Checks
The collaborative effort between Find Your Paws and Dr. Charlie Astle resulted in the development of a robust system that breeders must review before posting their pet listings on the platform. This system includes a series of recommended health checks and DNA tests tailored to each high-risk breed, requesting that breeders adhere to stringent health standards before listing their pets for adoption or sale.
- Some key components of the system include:
Breed-specific Health Check Recommendations: Detailed health check recommendations tailored to each high-risk breed, taking into consideration genetic predispositions, common health conditions, and other relevant factors. - Transparency and Accountability: A transparent reporting mechanism that allows potential pet owners to access essential health information about the breed, promoting informed decision-making.
- Education and Awareness: Collaborative efforts to educate breeders, pet owners, and the general public about responsible breeding practices, emphasising the importance of prioritising animal welfare.
