Vet Care
Every dog needs regular vet care. Most Korean Mastiffs are rather healthy dogs. Because they have a laid-back temperament and can be couch potatoes in their adult years, it is unlikely that you have to visit a vet due to an injury or trauma.Â
Their long and droopy ears can be prone to ear infections. If you see your dog shaking his head, having one part of his head lower than the other or scratching himself obsessively, take him to the vet. Chances are that he is suffering from an ear infection.
A lot of Korean Mastiffs however tend to take everything they can into their mouths, and might ingest foreign bodies – leading to bowl obstruction. If this is the case, immediate veterinary care is required.
Like all dogs, your Mastiff will need to get annual vaccinations and a microchip. You will want to spay or neuter your dog unless you are intending on breeding him as well.
Unfortunately, Mastiffs’ lifespan is only 6-12 years. Keeping your Korean Mastiff in the best shape possible will help him live a long and healthy life.
