 Our Club publication, Saber Tails, has always been a source of entertaining, interesting, and useful information. One of our members' favorite columns has always been the Dr. Roughie's Questions and Answers column, written by Dr. Kasmin Davis. These columns, detailing information about a variety of health issues, have been a great resource for all of us. We also include a number of other authored articles in our index.
The PBGVCA Health & Genetics Committee is pleased to present past Saber Tails health articles. In the future, we hope to have more of these compilations for you. We sincerely hope that you, and your dogs, can benefit from some of the information you find here. Enjoy.....and learn.
