Many dog lovers have a question: how to keep a German Shepherd as strong as a police dog. Today, let's talk about this issue.

The lifestyle habits of German Shepherds:

Those who know about German Shepherds understand that their dogs are den animals, only liking to sleep in their clean and comfortable dens. It should be noted that German Shepherds also have another name—Black Back (Hei Bei). German Shepherds are famous for their tall stature, bravery, and outstanding working abilities. At the same time, we can see the presence of German Shepherds in many fields: military police dogs, search and rescue, guide dogs, herding dogs, show dogs, pet dogs, and so on. It can be said that German Shepherds possess strong abilities, which is also why everyone likes them.

What is good to feed a German Shepherd:

According to different uses of the German Shepherd, we can categorize its diet differently. If the German Shepherd is used as a working dog, such as a military or police dog, then we can feed the dog some high-calorie foods, such as canned food, military meat cans—these are the favorites of German Shepherds, and feeding can be adjusted based on the dog’s activity level. If you are just raising your German Shepherd as a pet, then I suggest keeping a normal diet, regularly giving the German Shepherd meals like lean meat porridge, which are all beneficial for the dog’s growth.

How to take care of the dog daily:

Dogs have poor self-care abilities, so as their parents, we need to take care of them. In terms of diet, the most important thing is to adjust according to their age stages. Puppies should eat smaller, less, and softer food, and also need calcium supplements. Adult dogs can actually eat anything, just pay attention to enough portion. Elderly dogs should eat gentle foods and have small meals multiple times a day. Also, pay attention to the dog's cleanliness and hygiene. We need to regularly remove shed hair and trim their fur periodically. If the dog's fur is too long, there will be bacteria and parasites on their bodies, which easily leads to skin diseases. Lastly, let the dog go out for some exercise. Dogs, like humans, will become unhealthy if they don’t exercise.
