Health The Xoloitzcuintle has a moderate overall health profile. Hairless dogs commonly have incomplete dentition linked to the same genetic trait that affects the coat. Other conditions to monitor include skin problems, inherited eye disorders and patellar luxation. Preventive care should include dental, skin, eye and patellar assessment, appropriate environmental protection and regular veterinary check-ups.
To evaluate Always assess routine, nutrition, exercise and veterinary care for the individual animal.
