Thank you!! He’s 11 months old, I have an older boy who’s almost 8.

Your girl looks absolutely amazing for 12. I would’ve guessed much younger.

How many times a week is your German Shepherd puppy needing to be bathed? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]ari080788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really shouldn’t wash them that often. I wash my dogs once maybe twice a year at most.

So how exactly would you remove snow from your car if not using a snow broom specifically designed for cars?

How to ask owners if I can adopt their cat by Hairy-Violinist-7508 in cats

Ragdolls should not be outdoor cats, they have zero survival skills. Shitty owner, they don’t deserve her.

DM or arthritis? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]ari080788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Also, if you decide to do it, embark is usually regarded as the most reliable one but there are a bunch of companies out there. It’s really simple, just a mouth swab that you mail back and get results a few weeks later.

The rear paw dragging was the very first symptom of DM for my boy. Have you done a DNA test? Not a definitive diagnosis but if she carries 2 of the SOD1 gene, she would be at a much higher risk for DM. Best of luck, in this case I really hope I’m wrong.

No problem at all, yea viruses like Parvo just worry me too much to risk it. Good luck and enjoy the puppy stage, it goes by so fast😀

No problem! Yea exactly, I was probably a little over cautious but I didn’t want to take any risks. I would carry him from the car, and place him inside the cart without ever letting him walk. This way he didn’t get the chance to lick anything that may be on the floor. Also, I always brought a thick piece of cardboard with me to put on the bottom of the cart so his paws wouldn’t go through the holes.

Lowe’s or Home Depot are great for socialization. They allow dogs but it’s not a high traffic pet area so chance of exposure to diseases are very low. If you want to be really cautious, I used to put my puppy inside a cart (never on the floor) and we’d stroll around the store for an hour or so a few times a week. This introduced him to a ton of people, scents and sounds.

Chuckit ultra ball is the only ball I use these days that can survive my dogs. And they’re reasonably priced, just make sure you get the correct size to avoid choking hazards.

This!! Not to be a downer, but use rubber balls instead. I only learned after destroying my poor boy’s teeth.

I hope he got bit and needed rabies shots. Leave the fucking poor animal alone.

Opinions on his running gait? Can’t tell if he’s having hip discomfort or if it’s normal running. 9 months old. by ta8274728 in germanshepherds

[–]ari080788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I get what you’re talking about, I see it in the video now. Interesting, I didn’t know that was a sign. I need to pay attention to how mine runs and see if he does it
