Canine Health & Disease
It has been very postulated that the Tibetan Mastiff breed can suffer from 28 health disorders of varying severity.
Most if not all of these disorders are genetically linked whether we care to admit it or not. Some may be exacerbated by environmental factors but a direct causal relationship has yet to be inarguably proven. There are still those that choose to deny proven scientific facts and such denial of genetic involvement perpetuates ignorance and does nothing to arrest or eliminate the diseases and disorders that affect this breed.
Listed below are some of the known disorders and diseases for each body system that affect dogs including the Tibetan Mastiff. If you require any information or explanation about any of the disorders please do not hesitate to
