Some Health Issues of the Tibetan Mastiff…

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

The Tibetan Mastiff is considered to be a very healthy breed. They have a low susceptibility to illness but some illnesses to look out for and take not of include: ectropion, entropion, hip and elbow Dysplasia, and hypothyroidism. This is all generalized and genetics may of course vary, with individuals; but these have been reported in some specimens of the breed.

Please note: Prevention is better than cure, so take your beloved Tibetan Mastiff to the vet on a regular basis…..

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

The Hypoallergenic Giant!

One would think that this furry giant is a great shedder and is hell for those who suffer from allergies and asthma. What a misconception, since this furry mastiff is one of the few hypoallergenic dog breeds! It’s thick, double coat only sheds once a year during a 4 week period either in spring or in summer. Weird isn’t it? So if you suffer from allergies and love big dogs, then the Tibetan Mastiff is sure to make you happy!
