==Diseases==
The spectrum of the dog diseases described is extremely rich and in its diversity it is quite comparable to human diseases. Very common dog diseases are:

Sensory organs: inflammation of the ear canal (otitis externa), cataracts, conjunctivitis, PRA (progressive retinal atrophy, retinal degeneration)
Digestive organs: tartar, stomach torsion (in large breeds), food intolerance, acute absorption disorders (diarrhea), parasite infestation
Respiratory organs: rhinitis, secondary tumor diseases of the lungs
Cardiovascular system: heart dilation (dilated cardiomyopathy, especially in large breeds), heart valve diseases (especially small breeds)
Urinary and sexual organs: renal insufficiency, uterine suppuration (pyometra), benign prostate enlargement
hormonal disorders: diabetes mellitus, functional disorders in the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) and adrenal glands (hyper- and hypoadrenocorticism), pseudopregnancy
Nervous system: epilepsy, disorders of nerve function due to a herniated disc (especially in breeds with relatively long backs, for example, dachshunds)
Skin: mammary tumors, allergies, parasite infestation
Musculoskeletal system: in addition to traumatic diseases, joint diseases dominate: hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia
Infections: Most dogs are protected by vaccinations against a large number of diseases that previously appeared epidemic, such as parvovirus, distemper, or [[rabies]]. In recent years, the proportion of infections caused by motion sickness (leishmaniasis, babesiosis, dirofilariasis, or tick-borne borreliosis has increased significantly.
