- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a serious heart condition, occurs at a notably high rate in Dobermans — cardiac screening is important.
- Von Willebrand disease, a blood-clotting disorder, is common enough that it's worth testing for before surgery.
- Hip dysplasia and cervical vertebral instability ("Wobbler syndrome") also occur in the breed.
This is general breed-level information, not a diagnosis or a prediction for any individual dog. Talk to your vet about health screening and preventive care specific to your dog.
Consider pet insurance while your puppy is young
