Roscoe the bulldog is looked after by animal lover and trainer Kirstin McMillan while Hamilton travels the world as a Formula One driver.
But a social media update revealed he is currently unwell.
McMillan revealed vegan Roscoe has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
However, the canine is being treated with medication – and even receiving acupuncture treatment, too.
And the expectation is he will recover because the illness is not too serious.
In an Instagram story, McMillan showed Roscoe devouring a sweet potato and peanut butter dog treat.
She then recorded a video to update fans on the famous dog.
McMillan said: “Roscoe, because I know you are going to ask, he is going to his vet today.

“This is a vet that practises veterinary medicine where she combines Eastern and Western, that’s an intergrative pet practice.
“So she’s a real vet, she went to Davis and everything, but she went for a few years of additional training in holistic methods, Chinese medicine, accupuncture and things like that.
“What she is going to do with him today is a high-dose Vitamin C IV drop and this is supportive care.
“This is in addition to the strong antibiotics that he is correctly on for his pneumonia.
“And she’ll do acupuncture on him. So this supports him.”
Roscoe has been a constant companion for seven-time F1 world champ Hamilton over the years, regularly rocking up at tracks with his owner.
He has more than 1.1million Instagram followers and his latest post on Monday night in America showed the pooch – who gets an annual birthday party – lying on a sandy beach in the sunshine.
Plenty of fans took to the comments to wish Roscoe well.
One said: “Get well soon. We love our favourite beach boy way too much!!”
Another wrote: “Feel a whole lot better soon sweet boy.”
A third added: “Get well soon Roscoe, we love you.”
And a final user replied: “Oo Roscoe my love, you are better sunbathing, vitamin D, fresh air on the beach. Take care of yourself, I hope you get better, I love you.”
Hamilton currently sits seventh in the F1 drivers’ standings after four races with Ferrari – but was disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix.
