What You Need to Know
Vizslas are lean, athletic dogs bred for sustained activity. Their caloric needs depend heavily on activity level — a working Vizsla needs substantially more than a pet Vizsla. The breed has moderate rates of food sensitivities — if a Vizsla develops skin issues, ear problems, or chronic digestive upset, a dietary trial is appropriate. Epilepsy affects some Vizslas — any significant dietary changes or supplement additions should be discussed with the veterinarian as they may affect seizure threshold.
