NO ONE likes thinking about their pet being ill, but it can be helpful to know what each breed is prone to developing so you can look out for the signs.
A pet technician has revealed the most likely reasons your dog breed will need the vet – including which one often gets fat.
TikTok account @wethetechs revealed the dogs they see all the time, but added: “We love these beautiful babies, problems and all.”
First up was the popular labrador, and they claim “obesity” is why this breed is often taken to the vet, so you may wish to monitor how many treats you regularly give them.
Next up was King Charles Cavaliers, and it was claimed Congestive heart failure (CHF) can be common.
This is when their heart is unable to pump adequate blood around the body.

Despite their large size, German Shepherds can suffer from anxiety, and this can be a fear of being separated from their owners or of things like loud noises.

The video has racked up over 200,000 likes, and pet owners were quick to take to the comments.
