Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Disease Statistics by Breed. Cumulative evaluations submitted to the OFA registry.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Disease Statistics by Breed. Cumulative evaluations submitted to the OFA registry.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified.

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Disease Statistics by Breed. Cumulative evaluations submitted to the OFA registry.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Jitpean S, Hagman R, Strom Holst B, Hoglund OV, Pettersson A, Egenvall A. Breed variations in the incidence of pyometra and mammary tumours in Swedish dogs. Reproduction in Domestic Animals 2012;47(Suppl 6):347-350, Table 1.
The largest study of pyometra and mammary tumors by breed, drawn from Swedish insurance records covering more than 260,000 female dogs and over a million dog-years at risk. Both conditions affect only females, and both are largely or entirely prevented by spaying, which is why the population matters more than usual: about 90% of Swedish dogs are intact, while most American bitches are spayed. The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.

Both conditions affect only females, and both are largely or entirely prevented by spaying, which is why the population matters more than usual: about 90% of Swedish dogs are intact, while most American bitches are spayed. The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.
Population. Over 260,000 female dogs insured with Agria in Sweden 1995 to 2006, 110 breeds, followed to 10 years of age. Data years 1995-2006. Confidence grade B.

The largest study of pyometra and mammary tumors by breed, drawn from Swedish insurance records covering more than 260,000 female dogs and over a million dog-years at risk. Both conditions affect only females, and both are largely or entirely prevented by spaying, which is why the population matters more than usual: about 90% of Swedish dogs are intact, while most American bitches are spayed. The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.

The largest study of pyometra and mammary tumors by breed, drawn from Swedish insurance records covering more than 260,000 female dogs and over a million dog-years at risk. Both conditions affect only females, and both are largely or entirely prevented by spaying, which is why the population matters more than usual: about 90% of Swedish dogs are intact, while most American bitches are spayed. The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.
Population. Over 260,000 female dogs insured with Agria in Sweden 1995 to 2006, 110 breeds, followed to 10 years of age. Data years 1995-2006. Confidence grade B.

The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.
Population. Over 260,000 female dogs insured with Agria in Sweden 1995 to 2006, 110 breeds, followed to 10 years of age. Data years 1995-2006. Confidence grade B.

The between-breed spread is very wide, from 9% to 73% for either condition by age ten, which the authors read as evidence of genetic predisposition. Two limits are worth carrying: insurance claims record what was treated and reimbursed, so anything managed without a claim is invisible, and the data stops at ten years, so breeds that live longer will have higher true figures than these.

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Disease Statistics by Breed. Cumulative evaluations submitted to the OFA registry.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.
Population. 27,541 US companion dogs enrolled in the Dog Aging Project, owner reported. Data years 2019-2022. Confidence grade B.

A VetCompass study of a random sample of 22,333 UK dogs drawn from 784 primary-care clinics, designed to give a representative picture of what dogs are seen for in a single year. Same method and same caveats as the 2014 work, with a more recent sampling frame. One-year clinical prevalence, so it counts dogs recorded with the condition during the study year, not those who had it before or developed it after.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Wallis C, Saito EK, Salt C, Holcombe LJ, Desforges NG. Association of periodontal disease with breed size, breed, weight, and age in pure-bred client-owned dogs in the United States. The Veterinary Journal 2021;275:105717.
The largest study of periodontal disease in dogs ever run: 2.8 million US dogs across 14.7 million visits at Banfield hospitals over five years, covering 60 breeds. It found an overall period prevalence of 18.2% and established that extra-small breeds under 6.5 kg are up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than giant breeds over 25 kg. The caveat the authors are explicit about matters more here than in most studies: diagnosis came from visual assessment of conscious dogs, and examinations of anaesthetized dogs find prevalence between 44 and 100%. These figures describe what gets diagnosed in a consulting room, not what exists in the mouth. The study was funded by Mars Petcare, which owns both Banfield and the Waltham institute that ran the analysis.

The same 2.8 million dog study behind the breed-level periodontal figures on this site, reported by size rather than by breed. Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average. Diagnosis was by visual assessment of conscious dogs; examination under anesthesia finds 44 to 100%, so this describes what gets diagnosed rather than what exists.

The same 2.8 million dog study behind the breed-level periodontal figures on this site, reported by size rather than by breed. Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average.

The largest study of periodontal disease in dogs ever run: 2.8 million US dogs across 14.7 million visits at Banfield hospitals over five years, covering 60 breeds. It found an overall period prevalence of 18.2% and established that extra-small breeds under 6.5 kg are up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than giant breeds over 25 kg. The caveat the authors are explicit about matters more here than in most studies: diagnosis came from visual assessment of conscious dogs, and examinations of anaesthetized dogs find prevalence between 44 and 100%. These figures describe what gets diagnosed in a consulting room, not what exists in the mouth.

Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average. Diagnosis was by visual assessment of conscious dogs; examination under anesthesia finds 44 to 100%, so this describes what gets diagnosed rather than what exists. Mars Petcare funded the work and owns both Banfield and the Waltham institute that ran the analysis.
Population. 2,841,038 US dogs at Banfield hospitals over five years, grouped by breed size. Data years 2016-2021. Confidence grade B.
O'Neill DG, Witkowska SD, Brodbelt DC, Church DB, Engdahl KS. Yorkshire Terriers under primary veterinary care in the UK: demography and disorders. Companion Animal Health and Genetics. 2025.
A VetCompass study of 3,308 Yorkshire Terriers under UK primary veterinary care, among the most recent single-breed clinical datasets available for any breed. Dental disease dominates the findings, which is consistent with what clinical records show across small breeds generally. One-year clinical prevalence drawn from anonymised primary-care records, so it measures what dogs were actually presented and treated for during the study year.
Population. 3,308 Yorkshire Terriers, 2016. Data years 2016. Confidence grade A.
Engdahl KS, Brodbelt DC, Cameron C, Church DB, Hedhammar A, O'Neill DG. Demography and disorders of English Cocker Spaniels under primary veterinary care in the UK. Canine Medicine and Genetics. 2023;10:1.
A VetCompass study of 10,313 English Cocker Spaniels, one of the largest single-breed clinical datasets available for any breed. Its size means figures for even relatively uncommon conditions carry usable confidence intervals.
Population. 10,313 English Cocker Spaniels under UK primary veterinary care during 2016. Data years 2016. Confidence grade A.
O'Neill DG, Butcher C, Church DB, Brodbelt DC, Gough AG. Miniature Schnauzers under primary veterinary care in the UK in 2013: demography, mortality and disorders. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2019;6:1.
A VetCompass study of 3,857 Miniature Schnauzers under UK primary veterinary care, covering the disorders the breed is most often presented for and their frequency relative to other dogs in the same records. The sample is large enough for reasonably stable estimates on common conditions, though rarer ones carry wide confidence intervals. One-year clinical prevalence from veterinary records rather than owner report, so diagnoses are clinician-assigned.
Population. 3,857 Miniature Schnauzers under UK primary veterinary care during 2013. Data years 2013. Confidence grade A.

A VetCompass study of 11,647 Chihuahuas under UK primary veterinary care, one of the largest clinical samples for any toy breed. Dental disease and patellar problems dominate, and the sample size makes the estimates unusually stable for a small breed.
Population. 11,647 Chihuahuas under UK primary veterinary care during 2016. Data years 2016. Confidence grade A.
O'Neill DG, James H, Brodbelt DC, Church DB, Pegram C. Prevalence of commonly diagnosed disorders in UK dogs under primary veterinary care: results and applications. BMC Veterinary Research. 2021;17:69.
A VetCompass study of a random sample of 22,333 UK dogs drawn from 784 primary-care clinics, designed to give a representative picture of what dogs are seen for in a single year. Same method and same caveats as the 2014 work, with a more recent sampling frame. One-year clinical prevalence, so it counts dogs recorded with the condition during the study year, not those who had it before or developed it after.

A VetCompass study of a random sample of 22,333 UK dogs drawn from 784 primary-care clinics, designed to give a representative picture of what dogs are seen for in a single year. Same method and same caveats as the 2014 work, with a more recent sampling frame. One-year clinical prevalence, so it counts dogs recorded with the condition during the study year, not those who had it before or developed it after.

Wallis C, Saito EK, Salt C, Holcombe LJ, Desforges NG. Association of periodontal disease with breed size, breed, weight, and age in pure-bred client-owned dogs in the United States. The Veterinary Journal 2021;275:105717, Table 6.
The same 2.8 million dog study behind the breed-level periodontal figures on this site, reported by size rather than by breed. Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average. Diagnosis was by visual assessment of conscious dogs; examination under anesthesia finds 44 to 100%, so this describes what gets diagnosed rather than what exists. Mars Petcare funded the work and owns both Banfield and the Waltham institute that ran the analysis.

Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average. Diagnosis was by visual assessment of conscious dogs; examination under anesthesia finds 44 to 100%, so this describes what gets diagnosed rather than what exists. Mars Petcare funded the work and owns both Banfield and the Waltham institute that ran the analysis.

The same 2.8 million dog study behind the breed-level periodontal figures on this site, reported by size rather than by breed. Its central finding is that size drives the risk: the three smaller categories run two to three times the rate of the three larger ones, and dogs under 6.5 kg were up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than dogs over 25 kg. Where a breed has no figure measured in the breed itself, a size-matched US rate is a closer comparator than an all-dog average. Diagnosis was by visual assessment of conscious dogs; examination under anesthesia finds 44 to 100%, so this describes what gets diagnosed rather than what exists.

The largest study of periodontal disease in dogs ever run: 2.8 million US dogs across 14.7 million visits at Banfield hospitals over five years, covering 60 breeds. It found an overall period prevalence of 18.2% and established that extra-small breeds under 6.5 kg are up to five times more likely to be diagnosed than giant breeds over 25 kg. The caveat the authors are explicit about matters more here than in most studies: diagnosis came from visual assessment of conscious dogs, and examinations of anaesthetized dogs find prevalence between 44 and 100%. These figures describe what gets diagnosed in a consulting room, not what exists in the mouth. The study was funded by Mars Petcare, which owns both Banfield and the Waltham institute that ran the analysis.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.
Population. 43,005 UK dogs across 192 Kennel Club breeds, owner-reported. Data years 2014. Confidence grade C.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

O'Neill DG, Church DB, McGreevy PD, Thomson PC, Brodbelt DC. Prevalence of disorders recorded in dogs attending primary-care veterinary practices in England. PLOS ONE. 2014;9(3):e90501.
The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.
Population. 148,741 dogs across 93 UK clinics; 3,884 records reviewed in detail. Data years 2013. Confidence grade A.

The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

O'Neill DG, Witkowska SD, Brodbelt DC, Church DB, Engdahl KS. Yorkshire Terriers under primary veterinary care in the UK: demography and disorders. Companion Animal Health and Genetics. 2025.
A VetCompass study of 3,308 Yorkshire Terriers under UK primary veterinary care, among the most recent single-breed clinical datasets available for any breed. Dental disease dominates the findings, which is consistent with what clinical records show across small breeds generally. One-year clinical prevalence drawn from anonymised primary-care records, so it measures what dogs were actually presented and treated for during the study year.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.
Population. 148,741 dogs across 93 UK clinics; 3,884 records reviewed in detail. Data years 2013. Confidence grade A.

The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Banfield Pet Hospital operates more than a thousand US primary-care hospitals and holds clinical records on millions of dogs. This release covers dental health across that population. It is by far the largest US clinical dataset used on this site, but Banfield publishes selectively and this is a company release rather than a peer-reviewed paper, so the method is less transparent than the academic sources here.

O'Neill DG, Butcher C, Church DB, Brodbelt DC, Gough AG. Miniature Schnauzers under primary veterinary care in the UK in 2013: demography, mortality and disorders. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2019;6:1.
A VetCompass study of 3,857 Miniature Schnauzers under UK primary veterinary care, covering the disorders the breed is most often presented for and their frequency relative to other dogs in the same records. The sample is large enough for reasonably stable estimates on common conditions, though rarer ones carry wide confidence intervals. One-year clinical prevalence from veterinary records rather than owner report, so diagnoses are clinician-assigned.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Osteosarcoma 5 figures · highest in the Scottish Deerhound 3.3%from 0.6%5 figures · Scottish Deerhound
O'Neill DG, Edmunds GL, Urquhart-Gilmore J, Church DB, Rutherford L, Smalley MJ, Brodbelt DC. Dog breeds and conformations predisposed to osteosarcoma in the UK: a VetCompass study. Canine Medicine and Genetics 2023;10:8.
The largest study of osteosarcoma by breed, drawn from the clinical records of 905,552 UK dogs in a single year. Osteosarcoma is rare across dogs generally, at 0.037%, and that is exactly why the breed figures matter: the Scottish Deerhound sits at 3.28%, roughly ninety times the overall rate, and had 118 times the odds of a crossbred. Size and shape drive it. Every additional kilogram raised the odds, dogs with long skulls had 2.72 times the odds of medium-skulled dogs, and short-legged chondrodystrophic breeds had a tenth of the odds. Nine common breeds recorded no case at all in the year.

The largest study of osteosarcoma by breed, drawn from the clinical records of 905,552 UK dogs in a single year. Osteosarcoma is rare across dogs generally, at 0.037%, and that is exactly why the breed figures matter: the Scottish Deerhound sits at 3.28%, roughly ninety times the overall rate, and had 118 times the odds of a crossbred. Size and shape drive it. Every additional kilogram raised the odds, dogs with long skulls had 2.72 times the odds of medium-skulled dogs, and short-legged chondrodystrophic breeds had a tenth of the odds. Nine common breeds recorded no case at all in the year. The figures are one-year prevalences and osteosarcoma is diagnosed at a median age of 9.64 years, so a lifetime risk is considerably higher than any single year suggests.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

O'Neill DG, Church DB, McGreevy PD, Thomson PC, Brodbelt DC. Prevalence of disorders recorded in dogs attending primary-care veterinary practices in England. PLOS ONE. 2014;9(3):e90501.
The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

O'Neill DG, Coulson NR, Church DB, Brodbelt DC. Demography and disorders of German Shepherd Dogs under primary veterinary care in the UK. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:7.
A VetCompass study of 1,660 German Shepherd Dogs under UK primary veterinary care, examining the disorders this breed is presented for and their relative frequency. Breed-specific clinical work like this is more useful than a general survey, because the comparison group is other dogs in the same clinical system rather than owner recollection.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.
Population. 148,741 dogs across 93 UK clinics; 3,884 records reviewed in detail. Data years 2013. Confidence grade A.

The foundational VetCompass study, and the single largest source of figures on this site. Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College took anonymised clinical records from 148,741 dogs across 93 UK primary-care practices and hand-reviewed a random sample of 3,884 of them to classify what dogs were actually presented for. Because it counts diagnoses recorded by a vet during one year, it measures what gets treated rather than what dogs have, and mild problems owners never bring in are invisible to it. It is a UK population, so breeding lines and veterinary conventions differ from the US.

A VetCompass study of Rottweilers under UK primary veterinary care, using anonymised clinical records to establish which disorders the breed is presented for and how often, measured against the wider dog population in the same records. Because the comparison group is other dogs in the same clinical system rather than a general impression, the relative risks it reports are measured rather than asserted. One-year clinical prevalence, so it counts dogs recorded with a condition during the study year.

A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

The largest prospective study of dilated cardiomyopathy in any breed: 412 Doberman Pinschers from Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and eastern Europe, each examined at least yearly with both echocardiography and 24-hour Holter monitoring. Using both tests together is what makes it unusual, because 37% of affected dogs showed only arrhythmia and no echocardiographic change, and would have been missed by echocardiography alone. Cumulative prevalence was 58.2%, in line with the 45 to 63% reported from the United States and Canada. The authors note the figure may still be an underestimate: it is an ongoing study, dogs counted as healthy may develop disease later, and borderline cases were excluded rather than counted. Their recommendation is annual Holter and echocardiography from two years of age.

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is the largest prospective canine cohort ever run, and the deepest dataset on any single breed. 3,044 US Golden Retrievers were enrolled between 2012 and 2015 at six to twenty-four months old and are followed for life, with annual owner and veterinary questionnaires, physical examinations and biobanked samples. Four cancers were chosen as endpoints at the outset; a fifth, histiocytic sarcoma, was added when it appeared more often than expected. The figures here are cumulative diagnoses within a cohort still being followed, so each one is a floor rather than a final lifetime risk, and they will rise as the surviving dogs age.

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Disease Statistics by Breed. Cumulative evaluations submitted to the OFA registry.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals maintains the largest hip and elbow screening registry in the world, running since 1974 and covering more than a million evaluations. Owners and breeders pay to have radiographs graded by three independent radiologists. That voluntary submission is the whole caveat: a breeder who sees a badly dysplastic film is under no obligation to send it in, and published analyses of the registry acknowledge that normal-looking hips are several times more likely to be submitted. These figures describe dogs whose owners chose to test them, so the true rate in each breed is higher than shown.

Forsyth KK, McCoy BM, Schmid SM, Promislow DEL, Snyder-Mackler N, the DAP Consortium. Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack. Frontiers in Veterinary Science. 2023;10:1140417.
The Dog Aging Project asked owners of 27,541 US dogs to report every condition their dog had ever been diagnosed with, then published the ten most common for each of the 25 most popular breeds. It is the best breed-level US dataset that exists, and the only large one drawn from American dogs. Two limits matter: it is owner-reported rather than clinically confirmed, and it is lifetime rather than annual, so the numbers run higher than a one-year clinical rate and cannot be compared with one. The cohort also skews toward highly educated, higher-income owners, which the project states plainly.

Wiles BM, Llewellyn-Zaidi AM, Evans KM, O'Neill DG, Lewis TW. Large-scale survey to estimate the prevalence of disorders for 192 Kennel Club registered breeds. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2017;4:8.
A Kennel Club and British Small Animal Veterinary Association survey covering 43,005 UK dogs across 192 breeds, completed by owners rather than vets. Its strength is breadth: it reaches breeds too uncommon to appear in clinical datasets at all. Its weakness is that it depends on an owner noticing a condition, remembering it and reporting it accurately, so mild or resolved problems are undercounted and diagnosis is unverified. Responses came from engaged, breed-club-connected owners, who are not a random sample.

O'Neill DG, Butcher C, Church DB, Brodbelt DC, Gough AG. Miniature Schnauzers under primary veterinary care in the UK in 2013: demography, mortality and disorders. Canine Genetics and Epidemiology. 2019;6:1.
A VetCompass study of 3,857 Miniature Schnauzers under UK primary veterinary care, covering the disorders the breed is most often presented for and their frequency relative to other dogs in the same records. The sample is large enough for reasonably stable estimates on common conditions, though rarer ones carry wide confidence intervals. One-year clinical prevalence from veterinary records rather than owner report, so diagnoses are clinician-assigned.
