Things to keep an eye on
Bloat (GDV)
highLike many deep-chested breeds, they can be at risk for gastric dilatation-volvulus, where the stomach fills with gas and may twist.
Feed smaller, frequent meals rather than one large meal and avoid vigorous exercise immediately after eating.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to discomfort or mobility issues.
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 subsequent ear canal inflammation.
Gently clean and dry your dog's ears regularly, especially after swimming or bathing.
