Consideraciones de Salud

Collie Rough dogs are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they may be predisposed to certain genetic conditions. Common health concerns include Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and hip dysplasia. Regular eye exams and screenings for joint health are essential to catch these issues early. Additionally, some Collies may be sensitive to certain medications due to the MDR1 gene mutation, so genetic testing is recommended before administering specific drugs.

Preventive care, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups, can help ensure a long and happy life for this breed.
