Dr Alex Crow is a veterinarian who goes by Alex The Vet on TikTok. In a recent post, Crow revealed the five dog breeds he would never own based on what he’s seen in his office over the years.
- Shar Pei – The wrinkles are “adorable,” but are prone to serious skin infections as well as ear problems
- Frenchies/Pugs/Bulldogs – Flat-faced breeds struggle to breathe properly, have issues with allergies, skin and ear infections, spinal issues, and problems attributed to their bulging eyes
- German Shepherds – They need “a very specific lifestyle to thrive, and are prone to joint issues
- Great Dane – They’re well documented to suffer from a heart condition known as dilated cardiomyopathy…making it rough to say goodbye so young in life if it ends up affecting them
- Dachshunds – Their build makes them beyond prone to severe back problems as they go through their life
