Knowing About Rottweiler Health Problems

Title: Knowing About Rottweiler Health Problems
Author: Sharon A Davies

One common Rottweiler health problem is shedding so know that
before you get a Rottweiler. Two other common Rottweiler health
problems are gas from a bad diet and bone disease. Rottweiler
health problems can arise from not enough exercise.

Part of the responsibility of owning a Rottweiler is becoming
familiar with the common Rottweiler health problems that can
occur with your dog. Some of the health issues are more of an
inconvenience than anything else and others can be quite
serious. If you take the time to become familiar with potential
Rottweiler health problems then you can help your dog cope
better if some of them come up and you need to act. It always
helps to know what to tell the vet when you feel something is
going wrong.

A Rottweiler will shed a lot all through their lives and they
have very short hair that is hard and pointy and gets
everywhere. They shed when they are petted and when they scratch
themselves so if you do not want to have to pick small coarse
dog furs out of all of your clothing then you may want to
consider not getting a Rottweiler.

Like any other living creature a Rottweiler will develop some
health problems if it is not fed the proper diet. As your dog's
owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog is
getting all the nutrients it needs and none of the stuff it does
not need. One good indicator that your dog is getting a bad diet
is that your Rottweiler can develop a bad case of gas from a
poor diet. Flatulence is a result of poor diet and for your own
sake you probably want to avoid that.

Another common Rottweiler health problem is bone and joint
disease. A good diet can help strengthen bones and help them
fight bone disease but sometimes it is in their genes and it
cannot be helped. If you notice your dog having any difficulty
at all in getting around then get your dog to the vet right
away.

It can be a little confusing dealing with some Rottweiler
health problems if you do not take the time to work with your
vet and discuss these issues with them. While a good diet is
extremely important to a Rottweiler so is the right amount of
exercise. The problem is deciding how much exercise is the right
amount for your dog. Too much exercise can cause problems for a
Rottweiler and not enough exercise can lead to obesity so it is
up to you to work with your dog and your vet to come up with a
program that can lead to good health.

Keep an eye on your Rottweiler, as some health issues are more
common with them than other breeds. A Rottweiler is more apt to
get cancer than some other breeds and it is health concerns like
this that you need to keep track of. Regular visits to the vet
can help keep your Rottweiler alive and healthy for a very long
time.
