Teacup dogs for sale prone to many health problems

A s if it wasn’t enough that they have to contend with limited freedom of movement, teacup dogs for sale are actually prone to many health problems. Granted, every species and breed of animal has their own health issues to deal with, but these dogs have a double dose, firstly the typical health issues that plague every canine and also the health problems that are specific to their breed.   Many of the health problems are directly related to their tiny size, and then there are health problems that are related to the breeding practices that are less than ethical which is a major problem in and of itself. These health problems mean that teacup dogs don’ t live as long as other canines of the same breed. Some of the specific health problems that these dogs face include hypoglycemia – which warrants the dogs having to be fed multiple times a day – heart problems, liver shunts and respiratory problems to mention a few.   Unless you have the patience and money to keep going through the endless medical problems you’ll likely face with your new dog, it’s probably best that you consider a different breed altogether. Or at least wait until teacup dogs for sale is no longer a trend.
