Joint problems like hip and elbow dysplasia are common in these breeds, especially in larger dogs. These conditions lead to pain, lameness, and reduced mobility. Excess weight, intense exercise, and genetics worsen the condition by increasing strain on the joints. Use Proflax Bone & Joint or Mega Mobility to support joint health, reduce inflammation, and promote mobility.

Obesity is a serious issue in these breeds, increasing the risk of joint problems, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory issues. Overfeeding, lack of exercise, and poor diet lead to weight gain, which can strain the cardiovascular system and exacerbate other health conditions. Proflax Omega Vital supports healthy metabolism, assists in weight management, and enhances overall vitality. Combine with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

Bloat is a life-threatening condition primarily affecting deep-chested breeds. It occurs when the stomach fills with gas and twists, cutting off blood supply. Eating large meals too quickly, excessive water intake, and vigorous exercise shortly after meals increase the risk of bloat. Feed smaller, more frequent meals and monitor their feeding habits. Proflax Tummy Tastic supports digestive health, while Proflax Bottoms Up helps balance the digestive system and prevent discomfort.

Breeds like terriers are prone to skin irritations due to environmental allergens, leading to itchy, inflamed skin or dermatitis. Outdoor exposure increases the risk of these conditions. Allergens like pollen, fleas, and dust can aggravate skin conditions. Inadequate grooming or nutrition may also contribute to poor coat health. Proflax Skin & Coat or Immunity & Vitality can alleviate skin irritations, boost immune defense, and improve overall coat health.

These breeds are often exposed to outdoor environments, leading to skin irritations or allergies. Issues such as dermatitis or itchy skin are common, particularly in terrier breeds like the West Highland Terrier. Exposure to dust, pollen, fleas, and environmental allergens can worsen skin issues.

Proflax Skin & Coat or Immunity & Vitality will help alleviate skin irritations and improve coat health, providing a defence against allergens and boosting overall immune function.

Feeding a soft diet such as wet food and insufficient oral care contribute to plaque buildup, leading to gum disease. Proflax Plaque Patrol is an ideal supplement to reduce plaque and tartar buildup, keeping teeth clean and healthy.
