Medical care is a part of life with a Weim. In addition to the annual checkups and immunizations, there should be spaying or neutering surgery, and may be emergency treatment for bloat, surgery for injuries suffered in the field, or removal of unidentified swallowed objects.

As with many popular breeds, less than careful breeding to meet the demand for puppies has led to an increase in the possibility of your Weim having hip dysplasia, immune system disorders, and/or an aggressive temperament. Careful choice of breeder, proper socialization, and regular medical exams can help alleviate some of these.
