German Shepherd Tip of The Day

Use a Pet-Safe, Diluted Apple Cider Vinegar Solution to Clean Your Dog's Ears.

German Shepherds' floppy ears make them prone to ear infections. Avoid harsh ear cleaners by making a gentle, pet-safe solution with apple cider vinegar.

Mix one part vinegar with two parts water. Soak a cotton ball and gently wipe away dirt and wax from your pup's outer ear canal.

Never insert anything into the ear canal itself. The vinegar's acidity helps dry out excess moisture to prevent yeast and bacterial overgrowth.

Use this homemade cleaner weekly as part of your grooming routine for healthy, odor-free ears. Consult your vet if you notice redness, swelling, or discharge.

Trivia Answer

False!

German Shepherds are generally not recommended as an ideal breed for first-time dog owners.

  • German Shepherds are a herding breed that was originally bred for intense work like herding sheep. They have high energy levels and exercise requirements.

  • They are very intelligent dogs, which means they require consistent training and mental stimulation from an experienced owner to prevent boredom and unwanted behaviors.

  • German Shepherds have a tendency to be aloof with strangers and can be protective, which requires proper socialization training from the owner.

  • Their large size (typically 50-90 lbs) and strength can make them difficult for inexperienced owners to control and handle, especially during adolescence.

While German Shepherds can make excellent companions for active families with dog experience, breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Poodles and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are often better suited for novice owners who want a more easily trainable and lower maintenance first dog.
