Genetic Welfare Problems of Companion Animals

French Bulldog

Stop and think before buying a flat-faced dog – UFAW supports the Brachycephalic Working Group’s  position which urges all potential owners to consider the possibility that if they acquire a flat-faced dog such as a French Bulldog, Pug or Bulldog there is a very significant chance that that dog will suffer from significant welfare issues including breathing difficulties, skin fold infections,  eye disease and difficulty giving birth

Select a condition:

• Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome (BAOS)

• Hemivertebrae
