I’m a vet & I can tell why you’re bringing your dog in just based on their breed – dachshunds are ALWAYS the same reason
IF you are looking to buy a dog, you may have heard people commenting on the typical things that often go wrong with specific pooches.
While we all know that pugs can struggle to breathe as a result of their flat faces, it turns out that many other dog breeds have very common issues that we might not actually know about.
Coco, a 23-year-old Student Veterinary Nurse from Newcastle explained that she can guess why a dog has visited the vets, all because of the breed they are.
Coco, known on TikTok as ‘chloealexreayross4’ took to the video-sharing platform to share a video about dog breeds and the common issues they have.
She said: “If I had to guess why you visited the vets based on your breed”.
The vet uploaded the video with the caption ‘Just based on personal experience in practice’.

She explained: “I’m in no way stereotyping and not all breeds are like this. Just personal experience.”
In the video, Coco shows off six images of dogs and claims that she can predict why they are often taken to the vets.
When it comes to Labradors, according to Coco, they often need a trip to the vets as a result of their “arthritic joints”.
When it comes to a Cavapoo, a common reason that they would visit the vets, is because of a “scooting bum” and a “fishy smell”.
