Question What health issues should you look for in a new puppy or adult dog


If someone is thinking about buying or adopting a new puppy or adult dog, what should they look out for in the health of that pet?

Are there any 'red flags' that should be taken into consideration?

Look for the way the pup walks. If there is any sign of bunny-hopping instead of ordinary running around, ask your vet to check the knees.
