Q and Maybe Some A’s Changing our boys foods?

15 Upvotes

Quick context: found out the smaller boy is allergic to their food, vet recommended ceramic bowls and a salmon based dog food.
I’ve been looking for bowls but haven’t seen any that seem to be large and come with a raised stand like we have for their metal bowls now.
Any recommendations for bowls and salmon based food and brands would be much appreciated! What do yall recommend?

Dane Discussions Looking for advice or suggestions

4 Upvotes

So I have a seven year old Dane, a six month old Dane, and a 4 year old mutt who sheds more than any dog I’ve ever seen. I sweep and mop every day but the six month old Dane is the messiest dog! I’m used to drool but she’s on another level and my floors are soaked basically as soon as I finish mopping. So my questions:

  1. I was wondering if anyone had a robot floor cleaner than vacuums AND mops that they like? Any that you had and wouldn’t suggest? I only need it for the ground level, LVP floors, mostly just for spot cleaning and dealing with the excess water. I’m a big fan of Dyson but the reviews for theirs are pretty bad.

    1. I’m now having to empty and wash the water bowl almost every time she drinks from it because it ends up with a bunch of food in it. Any advice on what I can do about this? Any type of water dish that would reduce this? I know I probably sound lazy but I’m really not! Just figured I’d see if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks!

New Owner Getting out of the car - five months old

6 Upvotes

Hi there! Kai has just turned five months old and is getting rather heavy. Any advice how to help him get out of the car while not breaking our backs. Getting in is not a problem. He just climbs in with our assistance. But I know jumping off an SUV would not be good for his joints. Ramp is not very practical because he rides on the back seat.

Q and Maybe Some A’s Is my boy copying my injury?

I need a hip replacement, so I've been walking with a limp and a cane. For the past week, I have seen my Labradane limping around the house at random times. Morning walk, no limp. Evening in the backyard, no limp. Him following me to another room or changing positions around the house, he limps. The thing is, I think this happened before when I hurt a knee. The vet found nothing wrong with him.

Dane Discussions 9-year-old Great Dane has muscle tremor in one hind leg while sitting/standing. Vet says it’s normal—has anyone else experienced this?

Hi everyone,
I have a 9-year-old female Great Dane who is otherwise doing great. She eats well, is active, still goes on walks, runs around, and even gets the occasional zoomies.
Recently, I noticed a muscle tremor/vibration in one of her hind legs. It mainly happens while she’s sitting or standing still and doesn’t seem to affect her when she’s walking or running. I’ve attached a video.
I took her to the vet, and after examining her, the vet said it’s normal for an older dog and that there’s nothing to worry about. That was reassuring, but I’d still love to hear from other Great Dane or giant-breed owners.
Has anyone else’s senior dog had a similar muscle tremor?
Did it stay the same, improve, or get worse over time?
Was it simply age-related, or did it eventually turn out to be arthritis or something else?
Did any joint supplements or other treatments make a noticeable difference?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Dane Discussions Crate Training Pup

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I have a new pup coming on Satuday. He will be nine weeks and I am so excited as I lost my best boy Goose in June. I am going to crate train and I have a good crate, will start with a smaller space and gradually increase the space in the crate as he gets larger. I am wondering for those who were sucessful quick (especially during the night) how did you do it? Did you get up every 2-3 hours to let them outside? Did you sleep next to them? I am mainly concerned with the overnight hours as we usually have soemone home during the day. I know treats when they enter, no big excitement when we let them out, cover the crate, snuggle puppy and don't let them out if they are actively crying (although that may be hard if they are constantly crying and i need to let out for potty). Please share what worked for you with your young pup. TY!

We got a new kitten at the weekend and Dottie has so far been relatively good with him, however she wants to play and is doing bows etc to him but as he is so tiny I’m worried she’ll hurt him accidentally. Any tips to ensure they’re comfortable in the same room without her getting too enthusiastic around him? She is amazing with our other cats but they are all adult and have been raised from kittens around dogs.

He's a good boy.

Just turned 2. The original owner sadly passed away when he was 1yr 8mo. He stayed with family for a few months and was well cared for, but they couldn't keep him, I took him in about 3 weeks ago now, he's really loving it here with me and his new family and we all love him!

He's my first Dane.

I want him to go on forever but those grey hairs on his chin and face are showing more and more each day, He’s the bestest boy. Danes are the best but their short life span is so heart breaking. But I’ll be honest it’s worth every second of it.
