My dog's eyes look puffy and swollen. Is this normal for his breed?

Question

Do Leo’s eyes look swollen? The area around his eyes looks puffy to me. Pet's info: Dog | Samoyed | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 18 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Leo. The area around the eyes may be a little swollen, but I see that commonly in his breed. So it may not be problematic. You should be concerned if his muzzle swells or he has trouble breathing. These can be signs of an allergic reaction and emergency care is needed. If the whites of the eyes are red, he squints the eyes or paws at them or if you notice discharge from the eyes, then he should see a veterinarian as well. I hope this information helps!
