Flat-Coated Retrievers have a higher risk of cancer than most dogs. [[Hemangiosarcoma]], [[fibrosarcoma]], [[osteosarcoma]], and [[malignant histiocytosis]] are particularly devastating, and occur at higher rates in them than in many other breeds. According to studies sponsored by the Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America (FCRSA),<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.fcrsainc.org/healthmanual/index.html | title= The Flat-Coated Retriever Health Manual | work= Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America | accessdate= 2007-07-08 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070817022832/http://www.fcrsainc.org/healthmanual/index.html | archive-date= 2007-08-17 | url-status= dead }}</ref>
the average lifespan of the Flat-coated Retriever is only about eight years,<ref>{{cite web|title=A general health survey of Flat-coated Retrievers|url=http://users.pullman.com/lostriver/citations.htm|publisher=Breed Health Committee of the Flat-coated Retriever Society of America.}}</ref> with a high percentage of deaths due to cancer. More recent surveys in Denmark and the UK show a median lifespan around 10 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://users.pullman.com/lostriver/breeddata.htm|title=Breed Data Summary|website=Users.pullman.com|accessdate=11 December 2017}}</ref> A health survey of purebred dogs in the UK from 2010 showed approximately 50% of Flat Coated Retrievers death were due to some form of cancer.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Methods and mortality results of a health survey of purebred dogs in the UK|first1=V.

Another more common affliction amongst Flat-Coated Retrievers is [[gastric dilatation volvulus]], otherwise known as bloat.<ref name="flatcoated-retriever-society.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.flatcoated-retriever-society.org/images/stories/health/bloat%20by%20chris%20hewison%282%29.pdf
Flat-Coated Retrievers have a very low rate of hip dysplasia and [[luxating patella]]s compared to other medium-sized breeds; the [[Orthopedic Foundation for Animals]] statistics consistently show a rate of hip dysplasia in the breed of less than 3%. In the 1997 FCRSA health survey, 4.2% of males and 3.2% of females had been diagnosed with luxating patellae.
