When it comes time to pick out a furry friend to share our lives with, most of us are drawn to specific dog breeds that just capture our hearts for one reason or another.

But, before you go through with adopting any pet, it’s crucial to understand the unique challenges they may face when it comes to their health.

So, here are the five dog breeds that, while adorable, unfortunately, face the most health problems.

Bulldogs

With their wrinkled faces and stocky builds, bulldogs are simply adorable and win us over with their laid-back personalities.

These loving companions also have unique qualities that tend to make them a popular choice for dog lovers.

However, bulldogs are prone to experiencing respiratory issues due to their famously flat faces, a condition known as brachycephalic syndrome.

Additionally, their wrinkled skin can be susceptible to infections, and hip problems are not uncommon among this breed, either.

So, if you choose to adopt a bulldog, you must commit to the responsibility of staying vigilant and addressing these health concerns proactively.
