How to care for a Great Dane

Great Danes are very affectionate dogs, so they want to be close to their family. They get along well with children, but always supervise children to be careful with the dog. Great Danes can be good watchdogs, but they are not aggressive. If you are planning to get a Great Dane, choose your breeder carefully.

Nutrition

Great Danes are large dogs, so they need a lot of food. Puppies and young dogs need special food to grow healthy and strong. Adult dogs can eat high-quality dry food or wet food. You can also give them raw meat or cooked food. It is important that the dog always has fresh water.

Care

The Great Dane’s coat is short and smooth, making it easy to care for. Brush your dog at least once a week to remove dead hair. Bathe your dog only when absolutely necessary. It’s also important to check your dog’s teeth and ears regularly.
