5 Health Problems Dog Owners Often Ignore
Aricle by Dr. Marty Becker DVM | Found on VetStreet
Some of the things dog owners ignore truly do make a difference to an animal’s quality of life. It can be easy for well-meaning pet owners to get caught up in one aspect of their dog’s care but pay no attention to something else that might be just as serious (or painful) a problem.
That’s why I’ve put together this slideshow of five health problems that dog owners often overlook, ignore or treat as “normal.” If you suspect your dog has any of the issues on this list, please see your veterinarian immediately.
1. Chronic Ear Problems
2. Dental Disease
3. Skin Issues and Biting Pests
4. Arthritis
5. Obesity
