On her @carolinej5351 account, she listed her reasons as to why she would avoid five beloved breeds…
1. GERMAN SHEPHERD
While German Shepherds can be delightful, they were on Caroline's list as one to avoid.
She explained that the breed 'desperately needs a job' and it can be hard to keep them stimulated.
The veterinary expert shared that they are 'not meant to lay on someone's couch' and claimed 'breeders have done this breed a huge disservice.'
2. FRENCH BULLDOG

Next up was the French Bulldog, and Caroline listed a number of the issues they have including their breathing, their conformation and their skin.
She added: 'I actually feel so bad for this breed.
'Over breeding has ruined everything about this breed. They can't even breed/give birth naturally.'
3. GREAT DANE

Although Caroline loves Great Danes, she said they have a short life span, which puts her off

Caroline said she actually considered owning a Great Dane but has since been put off.
She explained: 'They're riddled with anxiety and have no idea how big they really are.
'Have an extremely short life span.'

4. CORGIS
While the late Queen famously adored Corgis, Caroline said she would personally avoid getting one.
She said one of the main reasons is because they are the 'worst for nail trims.'
The vet pro added that although they are 'extremely cute', they will 'bite your ankles' and have back issues.
5. ROTTWEILER

She said she would avoid Rottweilers due to their 'aggression'

Caroline admitted that she knows people find Rottweilers controversial - with people either strongly for or against owning them as pets.
She said that she personally has 'never met one that is not extremely aggressive.'
Rottweilers are commonly seen as dangerous and aggressive dogs.
Law experts at Goodin Abernathy explained that rottweilers can get a bad reputation when owners are not responsible.
"Without proper training and correction, this protective trait can lead the dog to act in an undesirable or dangerous way, resulting in dog attacks," they added.
VET BILL STRAINS
This comes as pet owners are increasingly avoiding taking their pets to the vets due to spiralling bills.
Some people are even giving up their dogs and cats for adoption as the costs of their care are too high, according to the BBC.
However, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has said prices have increased to keep businesses financially viable and open.
Blue Cross, which is an organisation that helps people who can't afford emergency pet care, said it has had a 264 per cent increase in applications in the past year.
Their cases were 1,319 in 2023 and they had 4,807 in 2024.
Meanwhile, the British Veterinary Union in Unite (BVU) said people are increasingly choosing to euthanise pets due to the cost of ongoing care.
In a survey conducted by Cats Protection, of the 10,000 owners who took part, 58 per cent admitted they did not visit the vets as often as they liked, with cost being the main barrier.

World's deepest bar to open in the UK as part of huge new £120million attraction
Plus, London's newest tourist town is in a 'forgotten' district and is a £1.3bn attraction with hotels, theatre and rooftop bar DEEP DIVE World's deepest bar to open in the UK as part of huge new £120million attraction Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW underground attraction is coming to London and it will be home to the world's deepest bar. Set to open by 2028, The London Tunnels will be a mile-long series of tunnels that "have been kept secret for 70 years", according to The London Tunnels website.

Formerly known as The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, plans include creating a variety of historical heritage experiences and a cultural, multi-sensory, digital experience. In addition to the new exhibits and experiences that immerse visitors in the decades gone by, the destination is due to open the world's deepest bar. The bar is set to be in the deepest part of the tunnels - 30metres below the streets of London - and will have a unique nightlife experience. The bar will aim to attract both tourists and history enthusiasts keen to see one of the most historically significant sites in the capital. In total, the tunnels span 90,000 square foot and stretch deeper than most of the city's tube stations. The tunnels themselves are large - with the height in parts tall enough to fit a double-decker bus - allowing the attraction to restore them as well as create an expansive visitor experience. The cultural exhibition space is expected to have a World War II memorial dedicated to the 40,000 people who lost their lives during the bombings and an immersive experience that combines history and entertainment, according to Tour and Travel World. The British Military Intelligence Museum is also expected to relocate into the tunnels to showcase over 300 years of British Military intelligence including rare artefacts and cases of espionage. By 1942 the construction of the tunnels was complete but the Blitz were no longer occurring and so the tunnels were never used for shelter. World's most luxurious apocalypse-proof bunkers But two years later, in 1944, the tunnels housed spy headquarters when James Bond author Ian Fleming worked in them for naval intelligence. The tunnels are believed to have inspired Q Branch - where 007 goes to get his specialist equipment. They were also home to a special bunker that would protect Government officials in the case of a nuclear attack. Currently the tunnels boast a maze of old generators, pipes, rusty bolts, bundles of cables and switches and levers. 7 Formerly known as The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, plans include creating a variety of historical heritage experiences and a cultural, multi-sensory, digital experience Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd 7 In addition to the new exhibits and experiences that immerse visitors in the decades gone by, the destination is due to open the world's deepest bar Credit: Getty 7 The bar is set to be in the deepest part of the tunnels - 30metres below the streets of London Credit: PA:Press Association There are also the remains of a staff bar and canteen doe the 200 workers who used the tunnels in the 1950s and 1960s when it was a telephone exchange. The project aims to revitalise the historic spot and hopes that up to three million people will pay over £30 each year to visit the new attraction. The tunnels are located between London's West End and the Square Mile - stretching between Fulwood Place and Furnival Street, deep below Chancery Lane tube station. The team behind the project includes one of the UK's leading architectural firms - WilkonsonEyre - who were also responsible for the major restoration of London's Battersea Power Station. In the mean time, a beautiful new water attraction will also soon open in Europe with lagoons, 40C pools and waterfalls.

YOU may have seen the term "eyebrow blindness The trending term is being used by people referring to their former looks, which they thought of as on-trend at the time but can see were a total fail now looking back.
