My dog was diagnosed with congenital deafness — what are the next steps?

There is no known cure for congenital deafness in dogs. Vibrating collars may help owners communicate with deaf dogs. There are also training classes for deaf dogs that focus on teaching dogs hand signals. Work closely with your vet to develop a management plan tailored to your dog's specific needs and severity. Reach out to our vets for a consult — we can help you prioritize what matters most and plan for follow-up appointments.
