Things to keep an eye on
Bloat (GDV)
highDeep-chested breeds like the Komondor are more prone to gastric dilatation-volvulus, where the stomach fills with gas and may twist.
Feed smaller, frequent meals throughout the day rather than one large portion to aid digestion.
Hip Dysplasia
highThis is a common condition in large breeds where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to mobility issues. It is often influenced by both genetics and growth patterns.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's developing joints.
Entropion
moderateThis condition involves the eyelid rolling inward, which can cause the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye.
Schedule regular eye exams with your veterinarian to monitor for any signs of irritation or discomfort.
Skin Infections
moderateDue to their thick, corded coat, moisture can become trapped near the skin, potentially creating an environment for irritation or infections.
Ensure the coat is thoroughly dried after bathing or exposure to wet weather to prevent moisture buildup.
