5 Dog Breeds a Veterinarian Would Never Own

Spanish Veterinarian Highlights 5 Dog Breeds to Avoid Due to Health Concerns Spanish veterinarian Juanjo, known online as "juanjovetmascotas," recently shared a video discussing five dog breeds he would not own due to frequent health issues. His video, which has garnered over 1.9 million views, highlights the importance of breed-specific health considerations for prospective dog owners. Juanjo points to Shar-Peis's susceptibility to skin and eye problems caused by excessive skin folds. He states, "Shar-Peis have many skin and eye problems due to their excessive folds." He also cautions against Dachshunds, noting their predisposition to back problems and the often complicated surgeries and post-operative pain involved. He continues, explaining that Rottweilers have a high risk of tumors and often don't live past six or seven years of age. Chihuahuas, according to Juanjo, are prone to neurological issues, hydrocephalus, and respiratory problems. Dalmatians, while having a good temperament, are genetically predisposed to urinary and kidney problems. Juanjo's video serves as a reminder to potential pet owners to research breed-specific health concerns before adopting a dog. His insights, based on his professional experience, provide valuable guidance for responsible pet ownership.
