Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateLike many small to medium breeds, they can be prone to plaque buildup and periodontal disease if oral hygiene is neglected. This can lead to discomfort and potential systemic health issues.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly with pet-safe toothpaste and provide appropriate dental chews.
Hypoglycemia
moderateDue to their high energy levels and lean body mass, some individuals may experience drops in blood sugar if they go too long without eating. This is more common in younger or highly active dogs.
Ensure your dog has access to regular, balanced meals throughout the day to maintain stable energy levels.
Skin Sensitivity
lowTheir short, thin coat offers minimal protection from the elements, making them susceptible to sunburn and skin irritation from environmental allergens.
Use pet-safe sunscreen on exposed skin during peak sun hours and monitor for signs of redness or itching.
