What should be the medical care you should give a 2 year old German Shepherd?
Is there anything specific I should be looking for in terms of health concerns for German Shepherds?
German Shepherds are prone to hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip joint does not properly develop, leading to pain and mobility issues. Regular exercise and a healthy diet, as well as monitoring their weight, can help prevent and manage this condition. Additionally, they may be prone to skin issues such as allergies or pyoderma, a bacterial skin infection. Keeping up with grooming and regular vet check-ups can help catch and manage these issues.
