Consideraciones de Salud
Brussels Griffons are generally healthy dogs, but like many small breeds, they can be prone to certain health issues. Common concerns include patellar luxation, which affects the kneecap, and eye conditions such as cataracts or corneal ulcers due to their prominent eyes. They may also experience respiratory issues because of their brachycephalic (short-nosed) facial structure. Regular veterinary checkups are essential to monitor for these conditions. Dental care is particularly important, as their small mouths can lead to overcrowding and tooth decay. Lifespan typically ranges from 12 to 15 years. Preventive care such as maintaining a healthy weight, providing balanced nutrition, and ensuring regular exercise can significantly enhance their quality of life.
