Like all breeds, Affenpinschers are prone to certain health issues. Being aware of these potential problems can help you provide the best care for your furry friend. Here are the common health issues in Affenpinschers.


Patellar Luxation

This condition involves the displacement of the kneecap, which can cause lameness and discomfort.


Heart Issues

Affenpinschers are at risk for heart conditions, including mitral valve disease.


Hip Dysplasia

This genetic condition can lead to hip joint problems and mobility issues.


Dental Problems

Their small jaws can lead to dental issues such as overcrowding and tooth decay.


Respiratory Issues

Due to their brachycephalic (flat-faced) structure, Affenpinschers may be prone to respiratory problems in hot or humid weather.

 

Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help mitigate these risks and ensure a happy and healthy life for your Affenpinscher.
