Things to keep an eye on
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (Bloat)
highLarge, deep-chested breeds are at a higher risk for this condition, where the stomach fills with gas and may twist. It is a serious situation that requires immediate veterinary attention if observed.
Feed smaller, more 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 discomfort or mobility issues. It is often influenced by both genetic factors and rapid growth during puppyhood.
Maintain a lean body weight through controlled exercise and a balanced diet to reduce stress on the joints.
Entropion
moderateThis condition involves the eyelid rolling inward, which can cause the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye. It may lead to irritation or sensitivity if not addressed.
Regularly inspect your dog's eyes for signs of redness, tearing, or squinting during routine grooming sessions.
