Living with a Mastiff: part 3 The Vet

Expect your vet bills to be large. Most vets have a set office fee. The amount of medication your dog may receive however, is determined by weight. The cost of medicating a 200 lb mastiff is much greater than that of an 8 lb Yorkie.

• Find a vet with giant breed experience. Giant breeds do not have the same issues as smaller breeds!
  
  
• Find who is willing to follow your breeder's vaccine protocols and is willing to talk to your breeder if needed.
  
  
• Find a vet whose office can accommodate a Mastiff. Some exam rooms can be too small to do a proper exam and after 4 months no mastiff is going up on the table!
