All it takes is one look from those big brown eyes, and most of us would do pretty much anything for our dogs. They want a bite from your plate? A little piece couldn’t hurt. They want to go outside at 4:30 a.m.? Might as well.
But for the owners of these popular breeds, doing anything for their canine companions isn’t just sneaking them an extra treat. It means dropping a few hundred dollars on vet bills. These are dog breeds with the most health problems.
German Shepherd
German shepherds are a breed known for their strength, being the breed of choice for both military and police forces. However, despite that strength, they’ve got a considerable list of health conditions associated with their breed.
German shepherds are known to get hip dysplasia, meaning owners can expect to have to pay for an FHO or total hip replacement at some point in their dog’s life. They’re also likely to develop cataracts, diabetes, hemophilia, epilepsy, or pancreatitis.

English Bulldog
The English bulldog is one of the most talked-about breeds when it comes to the dangers of selective breeding. Although the dog has been historically known to be a sturdy little fighter, these days, they’re one of the dog breeds with the most health issues of all.
For starters, their flat, scrunched-up faces tend to cause respiratory problems, while their skin tends to invite issues with their eyes and ears. They’re also prone to heart problems, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and hip dysplasia. It’s no wonder the breed is known to live for only 8 years on average.
