10. Bloat 

Canine bloat, scientifically known as gastric dilatation-volvulus, is a serious health condition that occurs when a dog’s stomach is filled with gas. We don’t know for sure what causes this disease, but usually larger dog breeds are prone to it. How much food do you give your dog? Weird enough, if your dog is pretty greedy when it comes to food or if it’s eating too fast, this might contribute to bloating as well.  It’s better to keep an eye on your dog if symptoms like retching, salivating a lot, and a swollen stomach occur. You’d better pay a visit to your vet as soon as possible!

11. Kennel Cough

If you tend to go to parks often, then you might want to keep in mind that it’s a high risk for your dog to get kennel cough, especially if you have a tiny sweetheart because they have a low immune system. Kennel cough symptoms are sneezing, lethargy, loss of appetite, and low fever. In this case, talk to your vet to find out how it’s best to approach the situation, but in most cases, vaccination is strongly recommended.

Takeaway: Please keep in mind that these diseases can kill your dog if they’re not treated properly!

You should keep in mind that feeding your dog high-quality food and walking with it for at least 1 hour per day might be very healthy! Also, a regular check-up from the vet is mandatory.

The bottom line is that there are plenty of dangers for your dog, but if you take care of it properly and, above everything, vaccinate it, it might make its life easy!
