When thunderstorms roll in, many dogs, including German Shepherds, can experience heightened anxiety. This can lead to stress, restlessness, and even destructive behavior. One effective way to help calm your furry friend during such times is to use lavender essential oil.

Trivia Answer

D) All of the above

Older German Shepherds are prone to several health issues, including cataracts, deafness, and pancreatitis. Cataracts can lead to vision impairment and are common in aging dogs, affecting their quality of life. Regular veterinary check-ups can help catch this issue early.

Deafness is another concern, often due to age-related changes in the inner ear. It can significantly impact a dog's ability to communicate and respond to commands. Pancreatitis, inflammation of the pancreas, can also occur, particularly in older dogs that may have dietary indiscretions.

Overall, it’s essential for owners of aging German Shepherds to be vigilant about these potential health issues and seek veterinary advice as needed.
