Malnutrition occurs when a dog does not receive the necessary nutrients in their diet.
This can be caused by feeding a poor-quality diet or not feeding enough nutritious dog food.
Malnutrition can lead to a weakened immune system, poor coat condition, and stunted growth.
To prevent malnutrition, feed your dog a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs.
- Pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis is a disease that occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed.
It is often caused by a high-fat diet and can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
To prevent pancreatitis, feed your dog a low-fat diet and avoid giving them table scraps.
- Dental disease.
Dental disease is caused by a build-up of plaque and tartar on a dog’s teeth.
It can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
To prevent dental disease, brush your dog’s teeth regularly and provide them with dental chews or toys.
- Allergies.
Allergies in dogs can be caused by food or environmental factors.
Symptoms include itching, redness, and skin irritation.
To prevent allergies, feed your dog a high-quality diet and avoid giving them table scraps.
If your dog has environmental allergies, try to limit their exposure to allergens.

To prevent kidney disease, feed your dog a low-protein diet and make sure they stay hydrated.
