Common Dog Breed Health Issues Blog

Health problems that run in particular breeds, explained in plain English.

Some health problems turn up far more often in certain breeds: breathing trouble in flat-faced dogs, spine and joint problems in long-backed and large breeds, and skin, eye and hormone conditions that run in families.

These guides explain what to look out for, what to ask your vet and what day-to-day care can help. They are for general information only. If your dog seems unwell, ring your vet.
