They’re cute and popular but come with an increased risk for many issues. Great information here from PVESC.

Smoosh-faced dogs like Bulldogs, Pugs, and French Bulldogs are brachycephalic breeds that are known for their adorable, flat faces and charming personalities. While their looks are irresistibly cute, it’s important to be aware of the unique health considerations that come with this adorable appearance.

🌬️ Breathing Challenges: Dogs with brachycephalic conformation often have Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). This can lead to difficulty breathing, especially in hot weather or during exercise. Always monitor your dog for signs of distress and consult your vet if you notice any breathing difficulties. Surgical procedures are available to correct the features of BOAS.

🩺Gastrointestinal Issues: The abnormal airway and breathing dynamics in brachycephalic breeds with BOAS actually increases the prevalence of gastrointestinal issues like vomiting and regurgitation. Addressing BOAS surgically and working with GI specialists can improve chronic gastrointestinal signs commonly seen in the brachycephalic breeds.

👁️ Eye Issues: The prominent eyes of brachycephalic breeds can make them susceptible to conditions like corneal ulcers and dry eye syndrome. Regular eye checks and proper care can help keep their eyes healthy!

🦴 Joint Health: Due to their stocky builds, brachycephalic breeds may experience joint issues, including hip dysplasia and patellar luxation. Keep an eye out for limping or difficulty with stairs, and consult your vet if you have concerns.

🦷 Dental Care: These dogs often have crowded teeth due to their short snouts, making dental hygiene crucial. Regular brushing and vet check-ups can help prevent dental problems down the line.

💔 Heat Sensitivity: BOAS makes these dogs more vulnerable to overheating. Always provide plenty of fresh water and avoid strenuous activities during hot weather to keep your pup safe.

With the right care and attention, smoosh-faced dogs can lead happy, healthy lives. Share your favorite moments with your squishy-faced companions, or tag us in a pic of your adorable furball! 📸✨
