When a veterinarian says that he or she does not recommend getting a particular dog, it is clearly due to health reasons.
Although it is believed among the people that everything heals especially quickly on a dog, this is not quite the case. Veterinarians do not recommend getting the following 5 dog breeds.
Bernese Mountain Dog
The dog has an excellent character and will be the most devoted and loyal friend, but the dog is recognized as the sickest in the world. In addition, the life expectancy of this breed of dogs rarely exceeds 8 years.
Among the unfavorable factors is a genetic predisposition to oncology. Therefore, the number one issue for the owner is proper nutrition, regimen, hormonal balance.
English Bulldog
Like all dogs with a similar muzzle structure, the dog has breathing difficulties. The dog does not tolerate high temperatures well, and eye diseases, joint diseases, and osteomyelitis are also possible.
Golden Retriever
These friendly dogs are prone to hip dysplasia, which can lead to arthritis and lameness. Complications can be avoided by keeping your dog from getting too cold.
Veterinarians also warn about gastric torsion, so a feeding regimen and proper walking are important.
Boxer
As already mentioned, dogs with short muzzles suffer from respiratory diseases, do not tolerate hot weather well, and are prone to developing heart and vascular diseases. Boxers are also prone to oncology - of the throat and oral cavity.
Doberman
