Things to keep an eye on
Bloat (GDV)
highDeep-chested breeds can be susceptible to gastric dilatation-volvulus, where the stomach fills with gas and twists. This requires immediate veterinary attention if symptoms appear.
Feed smaller, frequent meals rather than one large meal to help with digestion.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to discomfort over time. It is common in many medium to large dog breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
Otitis Externa
lowDue to their long, hanging ears, this breed can be prone to moisture buildup and irritation within the ear canal. Regular inspection helps identify issues before they become bothersome.
Gently clean and dry your dog's ears after swimming or bathing.
