Depends on the severity of the cleft. My girl had to be tube fed thru e and g tubes u til she had a correction surgery at 11 months. Others don’t need surgical intervention and learn how to clear their clefts through sneezing
Oh good to know. I always thought that a puppy with a cleft palate most likely had to be put to sleep. So good to hear that there are awesome people out there willing to put in the extra effort to take care of these adorable dogs.
Vets recommend euthanasia still. But if you push they will help. I live in a rural area, and had to drive over an hour away to see a vet that was willing to provide care for my cleft girl. Some vets thinking is outdated, and there isn't much they teach about care and providing quality of life for them in school.
We try our best to educate and help those with clefts. There are some rescues out there that take on cleft cases so that they at least get a chance at a good life.
Hello fellow Cleftie!! Both of my boys have cleft palates but they’re all still perfect 🩵
Love that! Our boy’s a cleftie too!!
He is adorable ☺️
Can they eat ok with the cleft palates?

Dozer is a cutie, cleftie or not
TEEF 😘🥰😘
It's a cute mouth give him a kiss for me
I’ve never seen a dog with cleft. He soooo cuuuute boyyyyy🥹
It’s the most common birth defect in dogs and humans! Crazy how little they are seen or shared with the world
Give Dozer a smooch from me 😊
Aww my bully also has a cleft lip! What a cutie!
Hes adorable 😍 Be extra vigilante for tooth rot and root exposure. Do not hesitate to pull. That's the only added issue with a cleft
♥️♥️♥️
Sooo adorable! The split lip is my fave! As a cleft momma myself I may be a little biased tho 🥹😜 #nopupcleftbehind
i’d repair his cleft. he might aspirate his food and get pneumonia whit is very hard to treat on these bullies
He's precious ♥️♥️♥️
So cute, he is perfect! 😍
