Things to keep an eye on
Bloat (GDV)
highBloat occurs when the stomach fills with gas and twists, which is a serious condition that requires immediate attention. It is more common in deep-chested breeds.
Offer smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than one large feeding.
Dental Disease
moderateLike many dogs, this breed can develop tartar buildup and gum inflammation if dental hygiene is not maintained. This can affect overall health if left unmanaged.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly with pet-safe toothpaste.
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, medium-to-large breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
Ear Infections
lowDue to their ear shape, moisture and debris can sometimes become trapped, leading to irritation or infection. Regular observation helps catch these issues early.
Gently clean and dry your dog's ears after swimming or bathing.
