Not all dogs are healthier without tails. In fact, some dogs’ tails are very important. For example, sheepdogs need their tails to maintain balance and control direction. For some breeds, tail removal may be a cosmetic or work requirement, such as some hound breeds.
However, this practice may also lead to some health problems. For example, dogs with short tails are prone to spinal problems and urinary tract problems. Incontinence and other issues. Therefore, whether to remove a dog's tail should take breed characteristics and health issues into consideration and be done under the guidance of a professional veterinarian. Generally speaking, if the dog does not have a tail due to genetics rather than deliberate removal, then this will not affect its health.
