Schnauzer Health

Best Schnauzer Health Tip
The Number 1 piece of advice for anybody looking to get a healthy Schnauzer - whether it's a Giant, Standard or Miniature Schnauzer - is to buy a properly bred puppy.

This means getting your Schnauzer puppy from a reputable breeder who selects the parent dogs based on a number of factors, including:

  • body shape
  • conformation
  • temperament
  • lineage
  • health history

Far better to spend time choosing a dog which has been well bred than to expend a lot of time and money later on at the vet's when the dog develops hereditary problems caused by poor breeding.

As the English upper classes say (in a very posh accent): "There is no substitute for good breeding, darling!"






Robust Schnauzers
Fortunately, Giant, Standard and Miniature Schnauzers are by and large regarded as healthy and robust dog breeds. They are relatively free of many genetic problems that affect some other purebreeds.

As with any pet, you will probably encounter some health issues during the (hopefully) many years of your dog's life. Schnauzer health is of interest to all owners, so we have listed some of the main health topics relevant to Schnauzers.
