Neapolitan Mastiff Health Information:

Due to the massive size of the Neapolitan Mastiff, these beautiful dogs tend to have a shorter lifespan than many of the smaller breeds. Generally, you can expect a Neapolitan Mastiff to live to be somewhere between 8 and 10 years of age. Ensuring that you have a healthy dog, when you first go to purchase your puppy, can make all the difference.

Some health problems which can affect your Neopolitan Mastiff include:

Bloat

Entropy

Elbow and hip dysplasia

Heatstroke

Thyroid problems

Chemical sensitivity

Heart disorders

Neapolitan Mastiff Exercise Information:

Your Neapolitan Mastiff puppy will require a great deal of room to gambol and play. However, as your Neo grows into adulthood, most dogs become less energetic. Due to the heavy folds of skin that cover his body, and to his massive size, the Neapolitan mastiff is prone to heat exhaustion and, while he does require daily exercise, it should be limited with concern given that he does not over exert himself.

Neapolitan Mastiff Grooming Needs:

One might think that due to the Neapolitan Mastiff's short coat, grooming would be minimal. One must take in to consideration, however, the heavy wrinkles and folds in this dog's hide. Dirt and sweat can gather in these folds, causing sores and the irritation, so they must be wiped clean daily, particularly around the face and head area.
