Schnauzer Husky Mix inherits the healthy genes from both parents. Though certain diseases can affect them, they can be identified early through regular health tests and treated. In general, the healthy Schnauzer Husky mix can live more than their average lifespan under proper care.

Health Overview 

Hip Dysplasia: Hip Dysplasia, one of the painful conditions, is caused when the rear leg bones do not properly fit the joints. This condition is primarily hereditary, but certain factors such as injuries, obesity, and wrong exercises can cause hip dysplasia in dogs. Even though it is life-threatening, hip dysplasia can be cured through medications or hip replacement surgeries.

Cataracts: Cataract is a white film-like layer grown on the eyes covering the eye lens. The eye will look opaque. It is genetically transmitted, which, if ignored, can lead to blindness. It can be treated through surgery.

Corneal Dystrophy: Corneal Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the layers of the cornea in the eyes. It is not a painful condition, and symptoms such as forming an opaque layer, are seen in some Schnauzer Husky mix.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy: It is a group of degenerative diseases affecting the retina of the eye. The affected dog will eventually be blind owing to the deterioration of the photoreceptor cells in the retina.

Schnauzer Husky Mix can eat good quality store-bought dog food or homemade food. Try consulting a veterinarian to include all the vital nutrients in the diet plan. Although Siberian schnauzers are not prone to obesity, it is better to note their calorie intake, to maintain their fitness. They enjoy treats, so you can use them for positive reinforcement.

They are indoor dogs that thrive on living with their families. Therefore, avoid sheltering them outdoors or leaving them alone for long durations.
