Health The Peruvian Hairless Dog has a moderate health profile. Hairless individuals commonly have incomplete dentition and may experience skin disease, sun damage and temperature sensitivity; inherited eye disorders and patellar problems should also be monitored. Recommended care includes dental, skin, eye and patella assessment, appropriate environmental protection and breeding choices that preserve coated dogs and genetic diversity.
To evaluate Always assess routine, nutrition, exercise and veterinary care for the individual animal.
