  • Feeding your dog kibble.

    Your German Shepherd does not know the difference between kibble and table scraps. Be sure to always feed your German Shepherd with kibble, especially if you are away from home for a long period of time. If you leave food out all day, just know that your German Shepherd will eventually get bored and eat his kibble. You will not believe it but this can happen to your dog at any given time without you even being around.

  • Feeding your dog with table scraps.

    Yes, you heard right. It is actually possible that your German Shepherd will eat everything that is put into that bowl. This includes your very own leftovers. Now you are probably asking yourself “Why does my German Shepherd eat everything that comes in that bowl?” The answer is simple, separation anxiety.

When your German shepherd is very young, his mother would take him to the vet for a diet of raw meat and bones. There were many reasons why this was done, but the main reason was that this was the best way for the baby to get his nutritional needs met. However, most people do not feed their dogs only raw meat and bones now, we want them to be healthy and fit, so they do not suffer later on with their health problems.

However, most veterinarians still recommend that these healthy diets are continued and dogs are most likely going to continue to eat foods like this for the rest of their lives. However, there are other benefits to feeding your dog a holistic diet. Holistic foods provide your dog with much-needed vitamins and minerals that are not found in his canned, dry dog food. Also, he receives a better digestive system which will keep him from having digestive problems. This is because his system will be working at its optimal capacity.

One common German Shepherd health problem is exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or EPI.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition where the dog’s pancreas doesn’t produce enough pancreatic enzymes. The enzymes are important to breaking down and digesting the foods that you eat for proper nutrition. If the pancreas doesn’t produce enough enzymes, the dog’s poop may appear “crappy” or have an excess of poop due to the enzymes not being able to work properly. This can result in digestive problems such as constipation, excess gas, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Hopefully, this article has helped you understand a little bit more about German Shepherds and what can cause them to have behavior issues. Remember, even though these problems are common in all dogs, you must always take your German shepherd to the vet for a check-up to make sure there aren’t any other health problems that could be affecting your dog. It’s also a good idea to talk to other owners about your dog and ask for advice and tips regarding German Shepherd care. Following these simple steps will help you enjoy many happy years together!
