Ben the Vet said owning certain dog breeds is 'not fair' and can throw up 'ethical issues'
Under the username @ben.the.vet, he posted a video on TikTok which has now amassed millions of views. Ben captioned the clip: "5 dog breeds I would/could never own as a veterinary surgeon".
Ben explained: "I'm sure there are some nice ones but I just find they often don't have a very nice temperament, they're really aloof. They're often very aggressive at the vets, they suffer quite commonly with eye problems and their purple tongues are a bit unnerving" Third on Ben's list is the dachshund, otherwise known as a "sausage dog". He said: "They're really lovely dogs, some of my favourite patients are sausage dogs, but one in four of them develop back problems in their lifetime.
