Akita Medical Challenges
Some Akitas can deal with issues such as hip dysplasia, arthritis, thyroid issues and bloat, although the breed is a predominantly healthy one with most dogs living full lives without any serious issue. Annual checkups with your veterinarian will help you to keep on top of the well being of your dog. The National Breed Club also suggest speaking with your veterinarian about ophthalmologist, hip and thyroid evaluations to help you better understand and ensure the continued health of your Akita. Be sure to contact your veterinarian right away if you have any serious concern about the health of your dog. Your Akita will be grateful for the loving care you give them and they will find plenty of ways to show it as they continue to bring love and joy to your life.
