About the Health Status Survey
The Health Status survey collects detailed veterinary health
histories from participants. Some questions ask about general health
conditions. Others ask about health conditions that occur in specific
body systems. Refer to Curated Data for details about date of diagnosis,
treatment, and ongoing medical followup. NOTE: These are owner-reported
data, which may or may not be confirmed via veterinary electronic
medical records.
