What Your Dog's Breed Means
For Its Health

Bulldog: Respiratory Problems - Like all dogs with those adorable smashed-in faces, bulldogs can suffer from breathing problems. Small nostrils, elongated soft palate, and narrow trachea are the reasons they probably snore, and they can lead to a life-threatening emergency if they get overheated or overtired. It's important to keep bulldogs cool in the summer and never overdo it with exercise. Beagle: Epilepsy - A brain disorder that causes seizures, seems to be more common in beagles than in other breeds.

How to Find the Right Vet
For Your Pet

Choosing a veterinarian is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your pet. Your veterinarian will be an important partner for you in making sure your pet lives a long, healthy life. Think about the issues that are important to you, like the vet's philosophy or values and the clinic’s hours and location. Knowing your preferences ahead of time will help you narrow down your choices. The best time to find a vet is before you need one. Don't wait until your dog or cat needs a vet before you start looking for one.
