Do Crossbreeds Get Hygromas More Often?

What kinds of dogs get hygromas most? Do crossbreeds get hygromas more often? Or do purebreds get them more? These are great questions. And there’s a short and sweet answer to them: 

No! Crossbreeds do not get hygromas more than purebreds.

 
What Kind of Dog is More Likely to Get a Hygroma? 

If your dog is a large breed, is overweight or lays down on hard surfaces, then your dog is at increased risk for development of a hygroma, especially if you’ve got all three of those together. If that’s the case, you need to take some measures now to make sure that your dog does not develop a hygroma.

Hygromas form most often in dogs that are large, overweight and lay down on hard surfaces repeatedly and has nothing to do with whether they’re crossbred or purebred.
