Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed owner-reported health data from over 27,500 dogs across 25 popular breeds to estimate how common various health conditions are throughout their lives.
  • Findings showed that purebred dogs did not generally have a higher lifetime prevalence of medical conditions compared to mixed-breed dogs, and more purebred dogs had no reported health issues at all.
  • The most common health issues across breeds included dental problems, dog bites, tooth extractions, osteoarthritis, and Giardia, with some variations among individual breeds.
