DogWellNet contains information collected and produced for the website, links and documents from all over the world on the work done for promoting canine health and well-being. The aim is to create a community of the people working with these issues and benefits from best practices and tools used elsewhere. The Finnish Kennel Club encourages all breed clubs and associations to produce material for the website.
