Consideraciones de Salud
The Toy Fox Terrier is generally a healthy breed, but like many small breeds, they can be prone to specific health concerns. Common issues include patellar luxation (knee dislocation), Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (a hip joint disorder), and allergies. Eye conditions such as cataracts or progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) may also occur. Responsible breeders should conduct genetic screenings for these conditions to ensure healthy puppies. Additionally, dental health is vital for Toy Fox Terriers due to their small mouths, which can result in overcrowded teeth and tartar buildup. Regular dental cleanings and a diet that supports oral health are recommended. The breed typically has an average lifespan of 13-15 years, with proper care extending their quality of life. Preventive measures, including routine veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and parasite control, are essential to keep Toy Fox Terriers healthy and thriving.
