You should know the breed of your pet

As you already know, purebred animals are more likely to develop some health problems, especially because they are genetically transmitted from generation to generation. So, before adopting a purebred animal you have to know exactly their breed and you should learn more about their characteristics and what diseases they are prone to. After this, you should take their potential diseases into consideration and try to prevent them.  

“Many purebred dogs and cats are genetically prone to developing certain health problems,” says Roberta Gleicher, a certified animal advisor who has a degree in animal husbandry. “Pet parents who have purebreds should know what these potential conditions are so they can take specific steps to reduce the likelihood they will occur.”
