The Kennel Club Charitable Trust and the British Veterinary Association (BVA) have pledged up to £30K to support breeds concerned about the health condition Chiari Malformation/Syringomyelia (CM/SM).
This funding will allow any owners of Kennel Club registered dogs that have had MRI scans taken before the inception of the BVA/KC CM/SM Scheme in 2012, to have their scans assessed by the Scheme and results published for free, a process to the value of £100.
