Irish Setter Medical Challenges
The Irish Setter is considered to be a mostly healthy breed, though some of them may still experience certain issues, including hip dysplasia, thyroid and eye conditions. Be sure to check with the breeder for any health screenings that they have done on their breeding stock to give you a better idea of what you can expect for your dog. Annual checkups with your veterinarian will play an important role in helping you to keep on top of your dog’s health, as well as to promptly treat any issues that they may experience. The National Breed Club also suggests that you speak with your vet about thyroid and hip evaluations, as well as a PRA optigen test for your Irish Setter. Always be sure to contact your vet right away if you have any serious concerns about their condition. Your pup will be grateful for all the loving care that you provide for them, and they will be sure to find plenty of ways to show it that will continue to bring joy into the home.
