Genetic Disorders Covered
Our lifetime genetic guarantee covers the following hereditary conditions commonly found in Dachshunds:
Hip Dysplasia
A hereditary condition where the hip joint doesn’t fit properly into the hip socket, potentially leading to arthritis and pain.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
A degenerative eye disease affecting the retina’s ability to function properly, which can lead to vision loss over time.
Elbow Dysplasia
A genetic condition affecting the elbow joint, causing pain and mobility issues including joint instability.
Von Willebrand's Disease
A hereditary bleeding disorder affecting blood clotting ability, which can cause excessive bleeding during injuries or surgeries.
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)
Given the Dachshund’s long spine, they’re at risk for IVDD – when cushioning discs between vertebrae bulge or rupture.
Patellar Luxation
A condition where the kneecap dislocates from its normal position, often seen in small breeds including Dachshunds.
