What About Other Health Issues?

Miniature Schnauzers are a robust and healthy breed overall — but like any dog, they are not immune to problems, especially when poor choices are made consistently in the areas of diet, lifestyle and environment.

Yes — we’re talking about what you put in and around your dog’s body.

If these areas aren’t carefully managed, it will affect your dog’s quality of life and longevity.

Diet & the Miniature Schnauzer

Feeding the wrong diet can lead to a range of avoidable health problems, including:

  • Food intolerances and allergies – often showing up as itchy skin, hot spots or yeasty ears

  • Dental disease – plaque buildup on teeth can lead to serious issues affecting the brain and heart
  • Diabetes – frequently caused by poor-quality, carb-heavy diets
  • Pancreatitis – a painful and sometimes life-threatening condition linked to diet

These issues don’t just compromise your dog’s health — they often result in:

Recurring vet visits, expensive tests and medications (with side effects), annual dental cleanings under general anaesthetic…

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

 

The Great News? It’s Preventable.

At Howleluyah, we empower our puppy families to make choices that support vibrant health and long life. That starts with feeding a species-appropriate raw diet.

We also guide our families in making thoughtful lifestyle and environmental decisions for their puppy — like avoiding toxins and promoting natural living wherever possible.

We Believe in Educated, Empowered Puppy Owners

We are genuinely grateful for the families who join us with open minds and big hearts — the ones who want to learn, grow and be the best advocate for their pup. These are the owners who set their Miniature Schnauzer up for a truly thriving life.

And while we don’t expect perfection, we do ask this: be willing to learn.

If you’re a 100% kibble feeder who isn’t open to learning about raw feeding, we may not be the right breeder for you.

The Howleluyah Health Guarantee

Yes — we offer a Lifetime Health Guarantee.
But it comes with a condition: that your puppy is raised on a species-appropriate raw diet.

Why?

Because we’ve poured time, research and resources into our breeding program. Our dogs are fed for optimal health and longevity — and we raise our puppies naturally to reflect that same commitment.

We hand over resilient, thriving puppies — and we’re prepared to stand by their health so long as their needs continue to be met.

It wouldn’t make sense — and wouldn’t be ethical — to guarantee the health of a puppy who’s fed the equivalent of junk food.

At Howleluyah, the puppy always comes first.
