Read an Extract of eBook
Any breed of dog can develop osteoarthritis. However, genetics do play a role and some breeds are significantly more prone to it than others.
Large breed dogs. In general, large breed dogs tend to be more prone to developing osteoarthritis. This may be because their higher weight increases day-to-day stress on their joints thus making them more susceptible.
German Shepherds. German Shepherds appear to be a particularly susceptible breed. Many individuals have an abnormal elbow joint, immediately increasing the probability of that elbow developing osteoarthritis. German Shepherd hips are also very susceptible. A 2001 study done at School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, involving over 15,000 dogs consisting of German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and Rottweilers showed that the risk of Germans Shepherds developing osteoarthritis in their hips was about five times the combined risk of the other three breeds.
