A VET has revealed two dog breeds that could have you spending loads on their chronic health issues.

Alabama veterinarian and TikTok sensation Dr Terrell told the U.S. Sun that you might be in her office regularly if you choose to own one of these pups.

"Every single pet is definitely its own individual, but they do have generalizations for certain types of breeds," Dr Terrell exclusively told the Sun.

"There's lots and lots of studies on breed predispositions for different types of diseases.?

The vet who has gone viral for her informative and entertaining videos explained that one specific breed is known for developing tragic health issues all the time.

"Boxers unfortunately are prone to many different types of cancers," she said.

"I actually diagnosed one this week, which is sad."

Dr Terrell said she was met with a lot of criticism when she shared her experience with this next breed.

"One of the things on my TikTok I had mentioned which set a lot of people off was, unfortunately, the golden doodle or any kind of doodle," she said.

"They're extremely prone to ear infections and allergies."

The vet explained that she usually diagnoses at least one doodle ear infection a day at her office.

"We had one yesterday and had to get hair out of the ears. It's one of the reasons why I had mentioned it's not a breed for me," Dr Terrell said.

Terrell, who also revealed the five breeds she personally would never own, also told the Sun about four kinds of high-energy dogs that could destroy everyone in your home if they aren't properly trained.

She said that these animals will probably require special treatment due to their activity levels.

"The German short-haired pointer comes to mind first because they are just active, active, active," Terrell said.

"They definitely need exercise."

She also said border collies, while incredibly intelligent, are a herding breed that has tons of energy.

"The vizsla as well. We don't see that commonly here, but these are ones that tend to be pretty active," the pet vet said.

"Labs even. Especially during the puppy phase."

Terrell said that if these dogs aren't trained enough they'll "destroy everything."

"It's scratching at doors, tearing up pillows and beds. Usually, it's barking and just doing things it knows it's not supposed to do," she said.

"Even eating things that they shouldn't. They can start chewing on something they aren't supposed to have."

The TikTok vet said these breeds will start tearing everything to shreds not necessarily because they're bad dogs but just because they need more stimulation.

"A lot of times it's from boredom," Terrell said.

"They want to be going. They want to be with you.

"They want to run, and when they're not getting that they're gonna focus on other things."

While getting a dog is obviously a super exciting process, Dr Terrell urged future owners to take their time researching so they don't accidentally end up with a high-energy breed they can't properly take care of.

"The best thing to do is to have patience and really think about your lifestyle," the TikTok sensation said.

"Are you active? Are you going hiking on the weekend? Are you working ten or twelve hours a day and never home?

"Do you have kids? Do you live by yourself? Do you have other animals? Those all come into play in what animal you should get."

When Dr Terrell isn't making entertaining and informative videos on her TikTok, she is doing her best to provide great care to all sorts of pets in her home state of Alabama.
