Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateLike many dogs, Taiwan Dogs can develop plaque and tartar buildup, which may lead to gum inflammation if not managed. Regular oral care is important for long-term health.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly and provide safe dental chews.
External Parasites
moderateDue to their active, outdoor nature, these dogs may be more exposed to ticks, fleas, and mites. These parasites can cause skin irritation and transmit other health issues.
Use veterinarian-recommended parasite prevention products year-round.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to discomfort over time. It is common in many active and medium-to-large breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
