Vet Warns: 5 Dog Breeds with Hidden Health Risks

South African Veterinarian Warns of Health Issues in Popular Dog Breeds A recent TikTok video by South African veterinarian Amir Anwary (@amirthevet) has brought attention to potential health problems in five common dog breeds. Anwary, known for his pet tips and tricks, cautions prospective dog owners about the realities of owning certain breeds, urging responsible research before making a decision. "Every now and then you're going to get a Cocker Spaniel that's got a screw loose in their head," Anwary states in the video, referring to potential anxiety and aggression in the breed. He goes on to highlight breathing difficulties and allergies common in French Bulldogs, genetic heart conditions in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and hip and elbow problems frequently seen in German Shepherds. Dalmatians, he notes, can be high-strung, stubborn, and even born deaf. Anwary's video has garnered significant attention, highlighting the importance of responsible dog ownership and breeding practices. His message serves as a reminder to potential dog owners to carefully consider the breed's specific needs and potential health challenges.
