@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialThe Pug carries the flat-faced build, and the breeds that share it cluster toward the lower scores rather than spread across the range. The shape itself is doing that, before any one dog is born. Its score sits at 55 out of 100.

@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialDrop a breed in the replies and its median lifespan from the data comes back. 155 breeds scored so far, and some of the numbers land nowhere near their reputation.
@pucvm.bsky.social“White feet, don’t treat” refers to the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation, seen more often in some herding breeds. White feet don’t prove anything. A genetic test can help your veterinarian make safer medication decisions.

@xiaosuanshi.bsky.socialCan dogs eat cooked onion — my dog ate some in food? No — cooking does not remove the danger.

@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialFive of the longest median lifespans in the data, in years: Lancashire Heeler 15.4, Tibetan Spaniel 15.2, Bolognese 14.9, Shiba Inu 14.6, Havanese 14.5. The pattern at the top of the table is not a subtle one.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.social5 conditions are recorded for the Whippet, 1 of them classed major-welfare, most commonly reported: Mitral valve disease, Von Willebrand disease and Deafness. These are what the vet records report most, not a forecast for a given dog.
@chukdog.bsky.socialTrained alert dogs can detect human seizures about 26 minutes before they start by sensing changes in body chemistry and subtle electromagnetic cues. This ability appears across seizure types, suggesting innate physiological detection. #DogHealth

@chukdog.bsky.socialDogs have a third eyelid, the nictitating membrane, that contains lymphoid tissue and makes antibodies to help protect the eye. If it becomes inflamed (cherry eye) the eye's infection defenses can be weakened. #DogHealth #DogEyes
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialJack Russell Terrier or Bulldog: which would you put ahead on lifespan? In the vet data the Jack Russell Terrier runs to a median 13.3 years and the Bulldog to 9.8, a gap of about 3.5 years. Does that match how they are seen?
@caninezen.bsky.socialDogs often change how they move before they ever limp. Watching for subtle changes in movement can help you recognize discomfort earlier and get the support they need.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialThe five shortest median lifespans among the familiar breeds, in years: Bulldog 9.8, French Bulldog 9.8, Bernese Mountain Dog 10.1, Great Dane 10.6, Rottweiler 10.6. Body size and shape are most of the story down here.
