DOG FAQ - What health problems are Labradors prone to?

Hip and elbow dysplasia can be a problem. Progressive Retinal Atrophy and Retinal Dysplasia are both problems in Labrador Retrievers, so dogs being bred must be examined yearly by an veterinary ophthalmologist. Labrador Retrievers are prone to mild skin allergies in some regions of the United States, notably Southern California. Ear infections are always a potential problem with hanging ears. You can minimize the potential for health problems by choosing the breeder of your puppy carefully.
