Common Canine Health Problems

This content is solely intended for information ONLY. WHS has not noticed any signs of these diseases in an animal you've adopted unless it was noted on the adoption contract. We feel that responsible guardians should be aware of some of the common and severe animal diseases.

Animals are given an initial vaccination at WHS which helps to prevent some viral diseases. It is important to continue vaccination boosters as recommended by your veterinarian as some viral diseases can be fatal; especially in young puppies.
