Mine eats about 2 35lbs bags a month. He only weighs 107lbs. A larger Dane may eat more.

Yes it is normal that he sleeps alot. But wait, I've heard of 3 mo. old danes weighing over 60 pounds!

Great Danes are extremely gentle despite their size, which can be intimidating. I’ve found that most Great Danes are very yard/house protective, but they won’t bite. If someone new or suspicious

Reseach and prove to them why this dog is better than the other dogs. Also find out the bad with the good. Great Danes eat alot and grow very big

Yes, Danes do not stop growing at age 7 months. Expect him to become alot bigger.

You can't really blame her for that if she would have to care for the dog. The average male gets to be more than 150 pounds at 3 years and the females get between 120 and 140 so that is alot of dog fo

after lunch or after playing 15 minutes later go outside and make a little ride with him u be sure to see puppy make something:)

try to let your retriever eat first thats what I did with mine.

sounds like a staph infection to me....if it were only on the face we call it puppy acne but with it being everywhere you should take your pup to the vet for a skin scrape

Great Danes can grow in height for up to 2 yrs, and then finish filling out for the next yr. You measure their height at the top of their shoulder blade, at the withers.

If you have a time to walk your Dane normally, you'll have perfect dog!

Yes it is normal he is just going to be a big dane!

You can try free feeding him and allowing him to eat as much as he wants. My dane didn't really fill out until he was 3 years old.

I can tell you from experience that great danes do sometimes slobber especially males. they are the epitimy of male versus female roles. Males are more clumsy at times and arent very gracious where as

Hi! I have 2 great dane sisters that are a year old now. They are phenominal. I rescued them and had so many people tell me that they would not get alone, nor would they bond with me. They get alon

Switch to fully RAW! He will achieve his maximum height on raw, if you feed it correctly. His diet should consist of 60% raw meaty bones (such as chicken wings), 40% other meat (such as mince, tripe,

Our 51/2 month old male dane is eating about 6 cups/day (2 cups 3X a day). The vet said about 6-8 cups is good. Follow the bag recommendations for age and mature weight (although all food is different

We waited to get our Great Dane(Bubba)because we read that they were very jealous dogs. I think it is better to wait untill the baby is born, then get the Dane. When we got Bubba and brought him home

Great Danes are big dogs, if you are feeding dry meal then it will drink, if you really think it is drinking excessivly then you should assure yourself that there is nothing wrong with him, for exampl

Take your dog to the Vet

In answer to your question, any dog that is neglected during it's most important "growing" time ( up to 2 years for some dogs ) will undoubtly suffer problems whether they are growth problem

I had the same problem with my great dane when he was younger (about 6 months old), i took him to a trainer for attack training, he gained confidence afterwards and is actually doing fine now. note

normally people dont breed merles - because a double merle can lead to blindness. Harlequins tend to throw out a variety of colors. So its possible that she was bred with either dog.

All puppies are going to bite a lot when they are very young. It isn't just Great Danes. Normally they grow out of it after around 8-10 months, but they might bite longer than that.

If you do not have a fenced in yard you should consider fencing it in. Then when you take him out he cant run anywhere you dont want him too. My Dane would walk next to me as a young puppy but as he g

No, they have to be cropped when they are very young so that as they grow, the cartilage in their ears will stiffen. Once they have floppy ears and are grown, their cartilage will not stiffen.

If you would like to get into breedig Danes first you should have them tested. You wouldn't want to pass on defective genes to puppies. Do lots of research. Danes do not stop growing until at least 2

Putting them together will be ok if you teached him but if you didn't properly train him, it could be a risk

I have 2 danes and a 2 year old son. The are his best friends other then his 7 year old sister.

I would definately take her to the vet. My pup had been wormed as all pups are but ended up getting heartworms from sneaking into my sisters cats litter box, and her cat had worms... I noticed he was

The general rule of thumb is one hour for every month the puppy is (3 months old, 3 hours in a crate) but it should never exceed 8 hours. If you have a doggy door, the dog can relieve himself so it's

Have you tried switching his food? My dog had diarreah and i found out it was because i was giving him the wrong food. Are you giving him people food? You should also never give your dog that, they wi

well if your dog is a female...sometimes dogs have dominance problems over who is the boss and who isn't. it's just a heading problem.

Most dogs will usually get fatty tumors as they get older. Our dane had many. They are usually harmless. most fatty tumors occur under the skin but above the muscle. be careful of the ones by the ches

Pepto Bismol will firm his stool up. I had the exact same issue with my dane Thor. I gave him 2 chewable tabs a day. He wouldn't eat them without putting some peanut butter on them but once he did his

you can try putting cayene pepper in the holes. but the best thing to do is to scold your dog and offer them something apropriate to chew on like a toy

sounds a little small for 9 mo. maybe a slow grower. i have 4 on a total raw diet and it has done wonders for them. you feed 2% of adult body weight per day for you probably 3lbs a day. this being 80%

try feeding her this dog food called puppy chow with gravy on it and if that doesn't work try asking a vet

Hi. Great danes are not outside dogs at all. Everything I have read states to keep them inside. My danes only want to be outside if I am. They hate cold weather and really hot weather.

My male dane had the same thing. He had a staph infection and is currently on antibiotic. Staph is a normally occuring bacteria found on the skin. Not serious.

I just purchased a male pup and the breeder and all the local Dane owners I know recomend either Eagle Pack large breed puppy or Chicken soup for the dog lovers soul. they need a food w less than 24%

Probably not the right answer but a rap across the nose and stern no, worked for me for training, nothing to hard or hold their mouth shut and a stern no, just make sure they know who is boss, it does

Crate him during the time you are at work. It is very highly recommended and can save them from eating things that can hurt them, let alone destroy your house. It is not cruel, it is like a den that

Please do not sleep with your Dog - this is referred to as bestiality and although I am open minded individual you cannot be certain the dog is consensual, thus I would strongly recommend you do not p

It sounds like an allergy, quite possibly to the food you feed him. We feed our dogs 65:35 rice to high quality dog food, plus a coat supplement, like bran oil, from Tractors Supply. In the meantime

Hello I just stated my Dane on this, I do a cup and half morn and the same for supper. He is a 6 year old, I am wondering if I should go to Blue Buffalo, I hear only great things about these foods.

I have had this experience with another breed it is not good, Goats are too timid. They can.t stand the onslaught of a dog. I doubt the children are in danger but the goat is. The dogs are just playin

welcome to owning a greatdane they will at times put there heads on kitchen table take up a whole couch.They just love being around people awesome breed

As for family and friends they well get to know her. She well growl at the other dog if she doesn't want to play or be bothered or when she is playing. it is hard to say for you have to get to know

I have a Dane who constantly licks his one foot. The vet said this is a nervous habit and a comfort thing. (She compared it to a human who practices cutting.) She said to stop him anytime I see the

Do NOT be rough on his/her hips!

You really need a lot of room for a greatdane , they grow fast and need room to grow and play, and run...they love to run around.

I wouldn't worry too much. All of our puppies have been gangly. I used to try to supplement them with everything to get them to eat more but they are just growing so fast. Keep feeding and treating an

Great Danes are short-hair dogs who do NOT like the cold--they enjoy sleeping in front of a fireplace or a wood buring stove. They are not a huskie--on the plus side--they are alert! They are also pro

Great Danes don't generally over eat. I would treat him like a puppy (since it sounds like he may be malnourished) and feed him 3x a day. At 3 years old, he should easily eat 9 cups of food a day.

Having to have had my Great Dane put down myself this year, I understand your question only too well. It is difficult to lay down general rule on when the right time has come, but there is one thought

We were told when we got our dane that we should wait at least a year, otherwise it can stunt their growth.
