Abstract
Brachycephalic canines have grown in popularity, but many owners are unaware of pre-existing breed related health conditions. Brachycephalic breeds most encountered in practice include British Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Pugs. The veterinary team are faced with challenges in the medical and surgical treatment of these patients. Therefore, there needs to be a collective effort to increase public awareness of the breeds predispositions and educate owners on safely improving the animal’s welfare. Methods to achieve awareness include nursing clinics, social media, veterinary websites and improved veterinary communication with the breeding community.
