Degenerative disc disease causes spontaneous degeneration of the outer part of the disc, resulting in sudden disc rupture or herniation (also called a "slipped disc").

Most dogs with degenerative disc disease are middle-aged, from three to seven years old.

There is likely a genetic predisposition to this disease.
