Things to keep an eye on
Cataracts
moderateCataracts involve the clouding of the eye's lens, which can gradually affect vision clarity as the dog ages.
Schedule regular eye examinations with your veterinarian to monitor for early signs of cloudiness.
Dental Disease
moderateLike many breeds, Buhunds can accumulate tartar and plaque, which may lead to gum inflammation if not managed.
Establish a routine of regular tooth brushing and provide appropriate dental chews.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to discomfort or mobility issues over time.
Maintain a healthy weight for your dog to reduce unnecessary stress on their joints.
