Consideraciones de Salud
The Coton de Tulear is generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 14 to 16 years. However, they can be prone to certain genetic health conditions, including hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and luxating patellas. Regular veterinary check-ups and screenings, such as eye exams and joint evaluations, are recommended to catch any issues early. Dental care is particularly important for this breed, as they tend to develop tartar buildup and gum disease if neglected. Keeping their weight in check with a balanced diet and regular exercise can also help prevent obesity-related health problems. Preventive care, including vaccinations, parasite control, and grooming, will ensure their coat and overall health remain optimal.
