The Miniature Schnauzer is generally a healthy breed. There are a few conditions that the breed can be prone to, including cataracts, hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis, liver shunts, and urinary stones. Responsible breeders will have breeding stock tested for health issues that can affect the breed. Owners should keep tabs on their dog's overall condition and consult their vet with any questions or concerns that may arise. Dental care is an important aspect of overall health, and the dog's teeth should be brushed frequently.
