A new campaign spearheaded by veterinarians warns potential dog owners that so-called “squashed-face” breeds have a number of health problems as a result of their breeding.
“In the past ten years there has been a rapid rise in the number of brachycephalic breeds in the UK. BVA is concerned that this rise in numbers is leading to a population-based increase of ill health and compromised welfare in these breed types,” noted the British Veterinary Association, or BVA, in a campaign statement.
