Things to keep an eye on
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
highThis condition affects the heart muscle, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood efficiently. Regular cardiac screenings can help monitor heart function over time.
Schedule annual heart examinations with your veterinarian to detect any changes early.
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (Bloat)
highBloat occurs when the stomach fills with gas and potentially twists, which is a serious concern for deep-chested breeds. Recognizing early signs of abdominal discomfort is very important.
Feed your dog smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than one large portion.
Hip and Elbow Dysplasia
moderateThis condition involves the abnormal development of the hip or elbow joints, which can lead to discomfort or limited mobility as the dog ages. It is a common consideration for large, heavy-set breeds.
Maintain a lean body weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's developing joints.
Skin Fold Dermatitis
lowDue to their facial folds, moisture can become trapped, leading to irritation or localized skin issues. Keeping these areas clean and dry is essential for skin health.
Gently wipe and dry the skin folds regularly to prevent moisture buildup.
