Personalised Genetic Vet Care is a program using the latest genetic information to personalise your pet’s
health care.
Your Bichon Frisé’s personalised genetic information book forms the basis of your pet’s health care and
general wellness program. A summary of the book contents is provided below:
Chapter 1: Ancestral genetics (3 pages)
General Breed Description:
The Bichon Frisé, also known as the Bichon, is a small breed of dog that has a curly white coat which
gives the appearance of a ‘powder puff”. The coat has a soft, dense undercoat, and the topcoat is curly
and longer than the undercoat. The tail is carried over the back so that the hair falls in a plume to the
body...
History:
Bichon type dogs originated in the Mediterranean area in ancient times and were originally divided into
three categories: the Bichon Tenerife, the Bichon Maltais (or Maltese) and the Bichon Bolognais (or
Bolognese), named for the areas they were located. The Maltese is a very old Bichon type, and other
Bichons may have originated from this type, possibly also descending from the Barbet
(or water spaniel)...
Breed Temperament and Behaviour:
The Bichon is described as a cheerful, merry dog with an affectionate, sensitive, intelligent and gentle
manner. Bred to be a companion dog, the Bichon gets along well with children and other pets, and does
very well with families that will take them everywhere...
Requirements/Needs:
The Bichon requires a lot of human contact with their family, and will not do well if left on their own for
long periods of time due to their long heritage as a companion dog. They require a moderate amount of
exercise for their size, and like any dog need to go on a daily walk to experience new sights and sounds,
keep them mentally stimulated and avoid boredom...
Best Suited for:
The Bichon Frisé would best suit someone looking for a constant companion, both inside the house and
when they are out and about...
Chapter 2: Genetic Disease (7 pages)
This section contains a detailed description of the 10 most significant diseases particularly common to the
Bichon. Information includes screening for, diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Atopy (Atopic Dermatitis)
This is a very common condition which has also been referred to as allergic inhalant dermatitis. Affected
dogs develop an allergic reaction to common environmental substances, such as pollens, moulds and house
dust, which are inhaled in the normal course of the dog’s life. Atopy is strongly heritable, and affected dogs
are thought to inherit a genetic predisposition to develop allergic antibodies...
Cataract (Cloudiness of the Lens of the Eye)
This typically inherited disease causes cloudiness in the lens of the eye. This cloudiness may be located in
the centre of the lens, or towards the front or the back of the lens. Inherited cataract is almost always bilateral (that is, in both eyes)...
Chapter 3: Caring for your puppy (3 pages)
This chapter provides you with a lifetime personalised wellness program for your Bichon with a recommended vet visit schedule by age. Your vet can work through this schedule with you to create the most appropriate preventative and protective approach specifically for your Bichon…
Chapter 4: Behaviour and training (4 pages)
Dogs are very social animals, and your Bichon puppy needs to be indoors with the family from the start.
There is no such thing as a “good outdoor dog”. Bichon puppies need to learn how to behave around different animals and people from a young age. This is called socialisation, and it is essential to prevent your
puppy growing up to have problems with nervousness and aggression…
Chapter 5: Games (8 pages)
Just like us, puppies and dogs will get bored doing the same thing every day. You will soon learn that there
are certain types of games that your dog enjoys more than others – for example, terriers often love to dig,
while collies and working dogs will run all day…
Chapter 6: Nutrition (11 pages)
Good nutrition is essential for your dog to have a healthy, happy life. It is critical that your Bichon receives
the correct amounts of energy, protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates and trace minerals and nutrients for
growth as well as maintenance of a healthy body and brain. Nutrition is also vital to a dog’s ability to think
clearly, as thinking requires mental energy and the correct amino acid balance for the maintenance of normal brain chemistry...
Chapter 7: Dental health (1 page)
You may have heard some advice about keeping your dog’s teeth clean. Many people have many different
opinions on this topic. The best way to care for your Bichon’s teeth and oral health is to manually clean his
teeth. This is not as weird as it sounds, and if you start when your puppy is young, is generally not hard to
do...
