Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateLike many smaller dogs, this breed can be prone to tartar buildup and gum inflammation if regular dental hygiene is not maintained. Proper care helps prevent discomfort and tooth loss.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly and provide vet-approved dental chews.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis condition involves an abnormal formation of the hip socket that can lead to discomfort or mobility issues over time. It is a common consideration for many active, medium-sized breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
Patellar Luxation
moderateThis occurs when the kneecap temporarily shifts out of its normal position, which may cause the dog to skip or limp occasionally. It is a common structural concern in many agile, smaller breeds.
Monitor your dog's gait and consult your veterinarian if you notice any persistent limping.
