Owning a majestic breed like the Maine Coon comes with its fair share of responsibilities, one of which is understanding the potential health issues that can affect these large, beautiful cats. Feline Hip Dysplasia (FHD) is one such concern that Maine Coon owners should be aware of. Let's delve into what FHD is, the causes, and preventive measures you can take.
At Valkyrie Maine Coons, our priority is the safety and well-being of our cats and the kittens we breed. While the outdoors might offer natural behavior and enrichment, the risks associated with uncontrolled roaming are too great. This is why we advocate for keeping Maine Coons indoors, and when outdoors, in secured environments. Here, we explain the dangers of free roaming and provide practical solutions for safe outdoor access.
