Unless your Pitbull is in a securely enclosed area, he should wear a collar and leash.Ĭar accidents happen especially often to young and energetic dogs that love to run and explore. You should never assume that your dog “knows where he belongs” and will stay in a yard without a fence. Many Pitbulls die on the roads because owners do not keep them in fenced-in yards or do not train them well enough to come when called. This is a tragic and preventable cause of death.

Sadly, 1.2 million dogs are hit by cars every year in the US. In some cases this leads to double-merle breedings, which creates extremely unhealthy offspring that often suffer from a variety of health issues. While the officially recognized Pitbull colors (such as blue fawn ) do not include the merle pattern, some breeders try to create merle Pitbulls.
#PITBULL MUTT SKIN#
Any kind of cancer originating from the skin can be difficult to cure and often marks the end of life for a Pitbull. They can range from easily managed conditions such as allergies to terminal diseases like mast cell tumors or melanoma.

Skin issues are also very prevalent in Pitbulls. Unless the owner is proactive about giving their Pitbull regular checkups, they may go unnoticed until they are difficult to treat.

Heart issues often do not cause symptoms early on. Heart issues are especially common among Pitbulls. All dog breeds are prone to certain breed-specific health issues, and the Pitbull is no different.
