Omg Arlo is becoming the most handsomest little man . So glad you mentioned some foods do cause future heart issues, especially for Dobermans. So many people don’t realize any Grain Free commercial foods (Blue buffalo, Rachel Ray, etc ) have been proven to cause complications for dogs and cats down the line . Pro Plan is an excellent choice .
Thank you so much Baddie. Yeah I certainly wouldn't be feeding this food if I didn't believe in it after doing my research.
If you ask 10 owners of AKC show Dobermans what food they feed, I'd be willing to bet at least 5 of them will say Purina Pro Plan. It's passes WSAVA guidelines (which not many foods do), there's never been a mandatory recall on the food that I know of, it wasn't linked to even ONE case of DCM in Dobermans in the recent FDA investigation into dog foods, and they have more research dollars invested into refining their formula than pretty much any other brand. In face in the FDA investigation reports, the vets dealing with DCM in their patients moved a lot of dogs over to Purina Pro Plan and began seeing improvements. Also they have certain things which are VERY important for Dobies like the addition of the Omega fatty acids, etc.
I definitely believe they are a solid choice for Dobermans specifically, but I'm always reading and new studies come out all the time. So I'm more than willing to change my recommendation if I see new information that leads me in a different direction.
Baddie Vee is there a list of grain free brands I should avoid? I’ve been feeding my 4 month old Doberman Nutro puppy blend and she loves it but could it cause health issues?
@@katelynncochrane8968 I have a list on my website of the foods that were linked to DCM in the FDA's investigation that might be helpful! DCM is the heart issue she's referring to. It's becoming a bit of an issue in Dobermans. Here's the link: www.dobermanplanet.com/doberman-dilated-cardiomyopathy/
Baddie Vee you’re totally right that those brands can cause issues but it’s actually not because of being grain free! Grain free is the best way to go because it’s the most biologically appropriate diet for dogs. Unfortunately it’s because blue buffalo, Rachel ray, and so many other brands (actually purina as well) use very low quality ingredients and don’t balance them to fit the dogs needs! DCM is a genetic issue and grain free diets have not been proven to cause anything :)
Baddie Vee you can get complete raw food my Staffordshire is on it, it is called natural instinct
Could you do a video about how you take care of Arlo's ears after the ear cropping? ps Arlo is super cute!
That video is in the plan but still a WAYS off. In the mean time you can google the "zip tie ear posting method" and if it's the one that uses Torbot surgical glue (labeled as "Torbot bonding cement") to hold everything in place, then it's the method that I'm using! Sorry I don't have that video for you at the moment :-(
Savages
@@learningtoyoutube9033 LMAO, come on man what someone wants to do with their dog is up to them, try not pushing your stances on others
John: „behave“, Arlo: * rolls on floor *, * dinosaur noises *. I laughed so hard 😂
Haha yeah he was in a mood at that point. I don't think he wanted to do a video!
I feel much better after seeing the out takes at the end! I have a 16 week Doberboy, to go along with my 2 yo Dobergirl. I watch Arlo and think what an angel. My True more closely resembles the Arlo in the out takes, although at feedings he is doing his best Arlo impression. I teach them to ‘go to your spot’, any type of throw rugs I have placed down, and they wait there. Love your videos, thank you so much!
Thanks so much Cathryn! Oh yes, Arlo has his devilish moments for sure. I mean, that's normal for a young pup like mine, or yours! I definitely try to time filming of my videos when I have a better chance of him being in a good mood. Doesn't always work out perfectly though! As you can see! Haha.
Your videos are BEYOND helpful. We just got a doberman puppy and have had the best time with her and such easy transitions because of your helpful videos. I cant say thank you enough!
We’re picking up our dobie pup in 2 days!! Your videos have been helping so much in our preparation for him. Thanks!
My hubby and I will be Doberman parents here soon so learning from you is an honor ! Thank you!!
Just discovered you a few weeks ago & have watched many of your videos so far. We will be getting our first doby in 2 months & I am learning, planning & preparing. I was raised with Pits most of my life (great family dogs) & enjoyed a couple of dachshunds over the last 13 years. Everything you've shared seems to line up with what I know & have experienced with dogs. :)
Thanks for all of the helpful info. I've shown some of your videos to my husband & daughter to help them understand the needs, expectations etc. Keep up the good work. :)
Love your vids. I'm getting a Doberman pincher next week and so excited. Will keep watching your helpful videos, thanks! 😊
I'll be getting my first doberman puppy in January of 2021 and all your videos make me feel so much more prepared for getting my puppy!
Arlo is so big. What a good boy. He listens very well for such a young dog. Thanks for updating how he is doing
Lol. I love watching your videos. I'm a Doberman lover. I'm 62 yrs young. I grew up with a Doberman back in the 70s. I would love to have another one. I live in a apartment. So I don't have room. So in stead I watch your videos, keep them coming. He is so pretty! Your doing a really good job with him, they are very strong dogs, so smart, loving, & loyal. Enjoy him. Your son has an amazing friend to grow up with. The only part about a Doberman I don't like is there life span. We don't have long enough with them. Again ENJOY!!
Thank you so much Rose. I agree with all you said even about not liking the lifespan. It's just never long enough. Hopefully one day when you are ready you can get another Dobie! :-) Love your support, thank you so much!
About to get my first European Doberman pup and been studying your videos, thank you for your help!
Thank you mate. Im onto my 3rd doberman and always still learning. They are definitely the best breed of dog that you can get. Ive watched all your videos and have learnt alot. Thank you
Thank you for doing what you do. We are getting our first doberman puppy In the beginning of November. I have learned so much and feel so much more confident going into this. Thanks 👊
I love how you posted his ears, PLEASE can you make a tutorial for that?! Your method looks like it's a lot more comfortable for our puppies
Your channel is growing fast man. I told you when you started that you will be a hit soon. Love your videos
Thank you for ALL of your videos. Especially this one! You're the best!
Once again a no nonsense video. To the point and informative. Thanks - from Ireland
I love the outtakes! Truly shows their mischievous behavior. Love your channel ❤️
Thanks so much JW! Those are my initials too!
Love your channel! Watch every video, I'm looking to get a doberman soon so im trying to learn as much as I can thank you!
i really like your videos!! i’m getting an american doberman next week, your videos have helped me a lot for preparing our home, you are the best!!
such an important video for me, just got my 13 week doberman and this really helped me with feeding her!
So glad it helped! I love to hear that!!vJust make sure that if you decide to switch foods you do it VERY gradually! Switching too quickly can cause stomach and intestinal upset.
It’s amazing this channel, it’s like the encyclopedia illustrated of Doberman. Congrats for Arlo and thnxs a bunch for sharing all your knowledge of this breed. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
I found your page yesterday when I bought my first Doberman and I'm so glad I did. The breeder didn't tell us how old she was so I just found out she's only 5 weeks old. Anyway, thank you so much for your great content!
I just got 2 of them and I’ve been watching your videos it’s helped a lot thank you
Just got my first Doberman he is 7 weeks old. Love the Video's of arlo and the information helps a lot Thanks
just wanted you to know your videos have been incredibly helpful to me. We rescued a baby Doberman (6 or 7 weeks old) knew nothing about the breed......until now ,thanks to you.
Thank you I just got a Doberman she about two months first time Doberman owner I was a boxer dog lover but now I have a Doberman that I love .... thank you for a your video they had hep me a lot please keep them coming appreciated .
Congrats! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Good luck with your new pup!
The real Arlo cracks me up in the outtakes! Just wanna cuddle him!
Thank you! Haha. He was in a mood that day!
Love your channel and I’m always here for advice on 6 mths old Doberman. Thanks.
Love these really help def recommend
Thank you so much for all the tips!
Your going to have an amazing bond with arlo. You can tell he really loves you ! Your doing a great job with him 👍
Hey John just wanted to say thanks for making your knowledge available to us.
Have a super energetic dobermann puppy here and appreciate your help.
Good to know I'm feeding my boys right. Thanks so much.
Thank you Alpha! Love seeing you here in the comments! Heck one of your past comments already made it in one of my videos! You're a staple here!
@@DobermanPlanet And thank you. Looking forward to your next video.
Watching Arlo puts a smile on my face. Our 13-month Doberman eats Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy. Thanks for sharing!
Hello John, first of all, I can't tell how gratefull I am for all these videos you are doing with Arlo.
It helped me showing my wife how intelligent, family friendly and interesting the Dobermann breed is.
Now our puppy (female european) will reach us in march and we are getting ready watching every single video in order to be - as much as possible - offering the most relaxing "landing to home 1st week" to this new family member.
We live in France, and our puppy is coming from a highly reputated breeder in Spain - (the only way for us to get an ears cropped dog as its not allowed in France).
As you know now, we are french so I had to translate your videos for my wife to undersand. Believe me your dynamism, your very enthusiastic attitude was language crossing barrier breaker.
So just in case it helps, here is below the translation for this video with the corresponding timeline. So maybe you can make it a subtitle file.
I know plenty of french speaking people who would love to understand your words (YT automatic translation isn't that good, espacially with a machinegun speaking vlogger ^^
Take care and best regards to all of you guys following DobermanPlanet worldwide 👋
What to Feed a Doberman Puppy-and How to Do It RIGHT
Avec quoi nourrir un Doberman : et comment bien le faire
0.00 Mon copain Arlo a maintenant 15 semaines et il grandit vite.
0.04 Regardez sa vidéo de présentation à 8 semaines, la différence est énorme
0.27 Les Doberman ont une croissance si rapide qu’elle peut en être douloureuse
0.30 c’est pourquoi il est très important de bien les nourrir dès le début
0.34 et puis c’est une race qui est connue pour avoir certains problèmes de santé contre lesquels on ne peut rien faire
0.40 En revanche, on peut s’assurer qu’ils soient bien nourris dès le début
0.45 Donc dans cette vidéo on va voir avec quoi nourrir le chiot doberman, a quelle fréquence le nourrir, et quelle quantité lui donner pour le garder heureux et en bonne santé
0.59 Comment nourrir un chiot Doberman ?
1.07 Bon pour choisir l’alimentation de votre chien, vous avez deux options : la nourriture industrielle ou la nourriture maison que vous préparez vous-même
1.14 pour la nourriture commerciale il y a des centaines voire des milliers de produits et recettes différentes, vous allez au magasin, vous choisissez, c’est relativement bon marché, c’est facile et on peut difficilement se tromper.
1.33 Donc on arrive à la maison, on prend le verre doseur et on donne au chien et voilà.
1.37 L’autre option, c’est la nourriture maison
1.39 Ce qui est génial c’est que vous savez exactement ce que vous donnez à votre chien, que ça peut être beaucoup plus sain
1.44 Beaucoup de maîtres ont obtenu de super résultats avec la nourriture maison
1.50 Donc lequel choisir ?
1.52 Personnellement j’ai choisi la nourriture commerciale
1.56 Les raisons sont : le prix et le temps nécessaire
2.0 Mais plus encore, je fais vraiment confiance à la nourriture industrielle car leurs recherches permettent de couvrir les besoins de mon chien.
2.10 Toutes ne sont pas les mêmes bien sûr, mais je leur fais confiance
2.11 Mais si j’avais un doute, alors je ne poserais plus la question des contraintes et je ferais du maison,
2.15 mais on peut toujours apporter des suppléments aux croquettes pour améliorer l’aspect nutritionnel
2.24 c’est pour ça que j’utilise et recommande la nourriture commerciale à ceux qui reçoivent leur premier chien
2.30 ceux qui sont pro nourriture maison, ne leur donneront pas de croquettes et c’est certainement la meilleure nourriture. Cependant on ne peut pas se tromper avec les croquettes.
2.42 Mais si vous choisissez de faire la nourriture maison, c’est sûr que ce sera encore bien meilleur mais je vous mets en garde. Vous devez bien étudier la question avant de vous lancer là dedans car il peut être très facile de mal faire et de préparer une nourriture inadaptée à votre chien.
3.02 Je vous suggère de voir un vétérinaire ou un nutritionniste canin avant de commencer afin qu’ils vous guident dans la bonne direction
3.07 Ce que je donne à Arlo en ce moment, c’est Purina Proplan Focus, mais honnêtement je ne suis pas marié à cette marque, je continue mes recherches pour voir si une arque propose la meilleure balance nutritionnelle pour les Dobermans
3.19 Ceci est ma recommandation du moment, donc, surtout si vous regardez cette vidéo dans le futur, aller voir dans la description de cette vidéo le lien vers mes recommandations actualisées.
3.35 Par exemple, il y a 6 mois je recommandais une nourriture différente mais depuis j’ai trouvé des études qui ont montré que Purina est meilleure pour combattre les problèmes cardiaques des Doberman et je suis donc passé à cette marque
3.48 Ca peut changer, mais pour le moment Arlo est heureux avec ça
3.53 Quelle quantité donner à votre chiot ?
3.55 Tout ceci dépend, de l’âge, la taille, le poids, l’activité sportive, les prédispositions génétiques, les problèmes de santé
4.04 donc si vous pressentez un problème, demandez à votre vétérinaire
4.08 Mais la plupart des marques de nourriture auront un tableau de dosage imprimé sur le sac
4.24 ces tableaux sont généralement basés sur le poids attendu pour un chien adulte a faire correspondre avec de son âge actuel
4.27 De mon expérience personnelle, ces tableaux ont largement sous estimé les quantités nécessaires au développement d’un Doberman
4.33 Les Dobermans sont des chien musclés et sportifs qui ont une haute activité. Généralement leur métabolisme brûle ces calories très rapidement
4.43 Donc typiquement il faudra leur donner plus que tout ce que ces tableaux indiquent quand il s’agit d’un Doberman
4.52 Bien sûr il faudra s’adapter à votre chien.
5.0 Pour Arlo, vu qu’il devrait peser 45kg à l’âge adulte,
5.05 et vu qu’il a 3 mois aujourd’hui
5.07 le tableau indique entre 1 et 3 verres par jour
5.18 Pour vous donner une idée, sachez que je donne 5 à 5 verres et quart par jour à Arlo
5.24 Et il semble que ce soit la bonne dose pour lui
5.27 Ceci vous montre à quel point ces tableaux sont éloignés pour une race comme le doberman qji brûle beaucoup de calories
5.39 Honnêtement ce n’est pas une science exacte, donc essayez de trouver la bonne quantité de nourriture dont il a besoin, en fonction de son niveau d’activité
5.46 et adaptez vous en fonction de son comportement au moment du repas, de son aspect. Voyez si il a besoin d’un peu plus ou d’un peu moins. Et faites ces ajustements lentement.
6.01 si vous avez la moindre question sur le nourrissage de votre chien, assurez vous de parler à votre vétérinaire, ce que je ne suis pas, pour ajuster au mieux le nourrissage.
6.13 Donc combien de fois par jour devez-vous nourrir votre chiot ?
6.15 Les chiots Doberman ont un petit estomac et une forte demande de calories pour leur croissance et leurs activités
6.20 Donc il faut vraiment les nourrir de nombreuses fois par jour au début, et ensuite en vieillissant, vous pourrez donner moins souvent
6.26 Pour un chiot de 6 à 8 semaines = 4 fois par jour
6.32 Pour un chiot de 8 semaines à 1 an = 3 fois par jour
6.35 Et à partir d’un an = 2 fois par jour
6.40 Donc à quel moment de la journée nourrir votre chien ?
6.42 D’une manière générale essayez de maintenir des heures fixes pour les repas, cela aidera à avoir un transit régulier et des cycles auxquels le chien sera habitué et il connaîtra vite les heures des repas
6.56 A titre d’exemple, Arlo a son petit déjeuner à 07h00, son déjeuner à 12h00 et son dîner à 19h00, il est sur un rythme de 3 repas par jour en ce moment
7.07 Une autre chose à savoir, assurez vous de garder votre chien au calme après avoir pris un gros repas, car les grands chiens sont prédisposés aux retournements d’estomacs qui peuvent être très graves, voire fatals. Donc pas de sport juste après les repas.
7.26 Arlo a maintenant 15 semaines, il grandit si vite, je vais continuer de suivre son développement et nous continuerons ainsi ensemble à en apprendre plus sur la race des dobermans
7.36 Vous savez je trouve cette race tellement épatante que je pense qu’elle mérite de revenir sur le devant de la scène
7.42 Donc les mais cliquez sur le bouton « suivre » ci-dessous, et que vous laissez des commentaires, c’est le meilleur moyen de supporter ma chaine et votre support est très important pour moi.
7.51 Laissez des commentaires, inscrivez-vous et à très bientôt les amis
Enjoyed your informative video on feeding your Dobie.
Looking forward to your next one.
Thanks 👍
Thanks! I am thinking about getting a Doberman… Learning alot from you!!!
Best TH-cam Chanel Entertaining Educational video never disappoints getting my Doberman in a few months these videos are great 👍
Love the extra out take footage 😂🥰🐾 so adorable and playful. We also get to see more of his personality
Hi John, nice video as always and great to see the young man doing so well. I have a 8 month old European boy and feed him on pro plan too, at 40kg now, he seems to be doing great on it. Loads of energy, a great coat and always seems to be alert, definitely a great choice in food 👍👍👍
Arlo is a nice looking dog, I’m so glad you show the food you fed him with, my dobbie is about 8 months old and just start feed her with Purina pro plan and I loved it, she had a very sensitive stomach, now see someone else using it make me feel that I make the right choice for her.
Another awesome video. Love watching this pup be raised and growing with you. I have 2 Great Pyrenees and I had a friend recommend Diamond Natural and mine love that brand. 40 pound bag is around 35 dollars. Again thanks for continuing with these awesome videos. Arlow is a pleasure watching
Hi John! Thanks for this video! I just posted a question on your video on the growth rates but this video completely answered it! Also, seeing Arlo at 8 weeks makes me feel better about my Daphne’s size. I will also increase how much I feed her per day. Thanks again-your videos help me feel so much more confident as a new Doberman owner!
Thank you I've been trying to research this very thing for our 1 yr old thanks for the info as always
So happy it was helpful!
Oh my I can't believe he is already 15 weeks old. What a handsome fur baby❤🐨🐨
LOVE the blooper reel!
Just got 2 males not my first dogs, but 1st Doberman and 2 pups at once. Your video’s really help, Thank you for all the knowledge!!
Rescued an 11 week old puppy a couple weeks ago. I was his 3rd owner already. Your videos are amazing and SO helpful.
In the exact same boat a year later
been watching you since before getting my dobber. just wanna say man this is such a great channel my little Kobe gonna benefit big time from it. Keep it up.
Means so much CM! Thank you!!!
Good stuff as usual. My make dobersaurus I’d 6 mos old now. Amazing how fast they grow. I’m almost done posting his ears! Can’t wait
That's awesome. Haha... "Dobersaurus" I love that. Good description. Oh man it's so nice to be done with ear posting!
Thank you for all the information it is very helpful I am planning to get a Doberman and I’m trying to do my homework first so I can be the best owner possible for him your dog is beautiful.
This helped a great deal!!!
Helpful advises buddy
Love the outtakes
Arlo is gorgeous.
He has already mastered the Dobie Strut. Love it!!!
Much Love Brother
Thanks so much! Haha yeah he certainly has a little strut.
My dad just brought a Doberman puppy 2 days ago, so he can protect your farm in future, but i also want to give him a good life, i believe your channel will help me a lot.
Love your videos.
Thank you.
So helpful🙏🏽
I'm loving the advice and experience you're sharing. I'm thinking of getting a doberman here in the UK and will probably import a European cropped and docked. Your videos have been so educational and informative...keep them coming!
Thank you so much. I love that you're finding them useful!
@ok 01 Sounds like you're pretty married to your brand of choice. Glad you found something you like and it works well for you.
Hey John, love the channel man! Before we got our puppy dobe, Bia, I did a bunch of research and your channel was a big part of it. Thank you!
I was wondering if you've heard anything in regards to purina changing their food formulas in the last few months? The last bag of pro plan I bought had a slightly different size and shape to it, our pup seems to have more gastric "events" since the new bag also. I've heard a couple other people say purina did change it without notifying consumers and was curious if you had any insight?
Again, love the channel man, love Arlo too! Its been so cool to watch him grow up! Keep up the good work buddy!
We're getting our first Doberman puppy this week and I am so excited!! Can't wait to bring him home. Definitely helps watching these videos, because I was super unsure of what to feed him. Certainly can't feed him like our Toy Poodle lol
Arlo is a sweetheart 🥰. Eagerly waiting for your video on ear posting . Thank you.
Thank you.. I plan to but it's going to be awhile. In the mean time you can google "zip tie ear posting" and if you find the method that uses Torbot Surgical Glue ("bonding cement") then it's the method I'm using.
This has been such a helpful channel. Thank you! Question: what are your thoughts about feeding your dobie in the crate and having them stay there and rest for 15-20 mins after eating? Ours is 9 months old now.
I use Organix (Organic Dry & Wet Dog Food) and mix in half of Instinct Raw. My Doberman lived a healthy 13 years. And now i have another Doberman puppy on the same diet.
Very helpful!!!!
Now,I told myself I’m only gonna watch this for a few mins,But ended out watching the whole vid,And tbh I don’t regret it..Really informative and really well explained!! :))
We are on lockdown, start sending in daily vids so I have something to watch:)
Love the videos!
Awesome channel!
Great info. My dobe breeder of 31 years recommended pro plan too.
I feed my pup eukanuba. Was reccomend by the vet and I can say it truly is great
Thank You Bro I'm getting my doberman puppy next week Thanks for the tips Anyway GodBless
I have owned 4 Dobies, only one was a pup, others were rescue dogs. Love the breed so much that we bought a pure bred Dobbie female. She is 11 months now, little hyper but coming along fine. I cropped my big male ( a long time ago) and chose not to crop my new female. That part is working great. My wife insisted on training her & is doing a great job (tons of treats). Kiana is her name & we feed her Purina Pro for puppies under 2 years
Thank you sooooooooo much for this video... My Doberman (Sebastian) just turned a year old and he's a handful 🤦🏿♂️but, I will definitely be taking your advice
I totally agree with you, I prefer a good kibble over anything, I also use Pro Plan
Please do a video about how you are posting his ears!
That's on the list but it's still a ways off! In the mean time you can google "zip tie ear posting method" and if it's the one that uses Torbot bonding cement to hold things in place than it's the method that I use! Good luck!
Great info I’ll be getting my pup next week. Wish me luck lol
Very helpful video! My Doberman puppy is currently 15 weeks and eating this dry food 3 times a day. I mix 1cup & 1/2 with a little bit of Hill's Science Diet Puppy Savory Stew with Chicken & Vegetables Canned Dog Food. She loves it!
Would love to hear about your ear posting process for Arlo!
Would you have list of dog foods, like your top 5 researched dry dog food, you’d recommend for Dobermans?
Thanks so much for these educational videos on caring for Dobermans! So helpful 👍
I feed my 13 week pup The dry puppy food but I also add plain low-fat yogurt with low-fat cottage cheese its full of protein and he absolutely loves it. Arlo is the cutest thing ever
Your videos are great and fun watching! Can you please talk about hind limbs for Doberman’s like how to identify that, for example, wide deviation legs compared to front legs.
I like the upside video idea!!
Haha thanks. Arlo was upside for the intro of this video. I figured there was no use in trying to convince him to be right-side-up. Haha
Please keep a 24 hour emergency vet number on hand in case of bloat. I did not have one handy until we though our Dobe had bloat and started to panic. Ended up Moses was fine, but after that scare, we made ourselves very familiar with 24 hour emergency vets in the area. Bloat can kill quickly.
Great point Suzanne! Thank you for posting this reminder!
I do use a slow feeder which helps so much
What were the signs of bloat ? I just got my puppy today and his belly looks pretty big.
@@MsSweetlove90 Puppy bellies tend to be larger (and cute). The dog will be very restless. They will be trying to throw up. It will be very obvious that they are distressed. There are videos on TH-cam that show it. I would watch one to see so that you can be aware. Enjoy the pup!
The outtakes! LOL!
Glad you enjoyed them! :-)
Great job on your videos! Do you have any videos of the ear taping done in this video?
Not yet. It's on the plan but it's going to be awhile for sure... if you google "zip tie ear posting method" and find the version that uses Torbot surgical glue (labeled as Torbot bonding cement) then it's the method I'm using.
Hey john, I know you feed pro plan as do I. Just wanted to let you know that the “bag change” pro plan just had isn’t only a bag change. They changed the recipe, replacing meat protein with plant based cheaper proteins. I’m switching to diamond naturals (they have an extreme athlete version as well) chicken and rice all life stages. Just thought you’d like to know. Keep up with the great videos!👍🏻
great vids
Don’t know how I missed this video John! Our pup has been very happy with the Fromm large breed puppy, check it out! Grain inclusive, which seems like a rarity nowadays
Dude, the outtakes, hilarious. Taurine is important to look for in commercial food for Dobermans according to our vet and our research.👍
Thanks James so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, my research pretty much lead me to believe the same thing. I didn't mention that... but I'm glad you did, thank you!
Just got my question answered!
Cool!
Though I would advise against pedigree and Alpo. I found it leaves my dogs coats (even past dogs of different breeds) greasy and their poo very runny. I’ve had good luck with royal canin, until I moved to a different climate (from Hawaii to upstate ny) then went to Rachel ray after trying a couple different brands. So if their environment changes could cause their food needs to change as well.
Very true about environment and possibly different foods being better in other circumstances. Thank you for your insight Amanda! Royal Canin is definitely a pretty highly trusted brand as well!
I would love a video of how you tape his ears!
Arlo is good looking athletic doberman puppy. When he grows up he ll be a strong and clever guard dog
Amazing attitude you give your dobe, people can learn from you a lot , respecting your dog, calm and assertiveness, discipline ...also towards people...😌
Ps why not higher the food bowl a little? Will that not be easier for him to eat?
can you make a tutorial of how your process is for wrapping arlo’s ears?
Hi John . I have heard from vets rotational feeding can be very helpful to avoid food intolerances /allergies...so when one food runs out you transition them onto a different one? Maybe reduces their boredom with their food too, and covers for the potential issues as yet not unequivocally proven re DCM and diet. I'm also a big advocate of variety+++ and mixing wet food with dry to reduce potential bloat risk. Thank you for another great video also! Arlo is divine ! Shared this one on Australian Dobermanns too ☺️
