Several veterinarians have shared their strong opinion about a breed of dog that, despite being widely chosen as a pet by many Spaniards, presents serious risks to their health and well-being.
The video from the TikTok account @aletziaviveros has generated a great impact by exposing common health problems in bulldogs, both English and French, as well as in huskies. Specialists warn that these breeds face serious difficulties that can affect their quality of life.
Veterinarians explain that bulldogs, in particular, face a number of health problems due to their characteristic morphology. The flattened facial structure, known as “brachycephaly,” causes significant breathing difficulties, often leading to the need for multiple surgeries throughout their lives. In addition, their physical makeup makes them prone to spinal problems, which can lead to the loss of the ability to walk.
Both English and French bulldogs also suffer from various congenital conditions, including pyloric stenosis, a condition that affects the passage of food into the small intestine.
In addition, they are prone to developing heart disease, allergies, and eye problems, which can exact a high financial and emotional toll on owners. In hot climates, they are particularly vulnerable to heat stroke, forcing them to limit their outings and outdoor activities, which can negatively affect their well-being.
