Bulldog
Cocker Spaniel
Dachshund (especially the miniature longhaired Dachshund)
Flat-Coated Retriever

Any medical advice or health information should never take the place of your veterinarian. If your dog is not feeling well or there is something wrong, don’t wait! Make a doctor’s appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible.

We welcome any suggestions to our articles.
