Things to keep an eye on
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (Bloat)
highThis breed's deep chest can make them susceptible to bloat, a condition where the stomach fills with gas and may twist. It requires immediate veterinary attention if observed.
Feed smaller, frequent meals throughout the day rather than one large portion to reduce strain on the digestive system.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateHip dysplasia is a common hereditary condition in larger breeds where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to discomfort.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints as they age.
Otitis Externa
lowDue to their long, drooping ears, this breed can be prone to ear infections caused by trapped moisture or debris.
Gently clean and dry your dog's ears regularly, especially after they have been outdoors or swimming.
