Taking Care of a New Brown German Shepherd Puppy

Home / Puppies / Taking Care of a New Brown German Shepherd Puppy

The brown German Shepherd puppy is a great dog to get. German Shepherds are fantastic companions, and they grow up to be very loyal. On top of that, they’re incredibly smart, they’re capable of being strong and powerful working dogs, and they look great.

As you might imagine, though, taking care of a puppy requires a bit of work and dedication. If you really want your new brown German Shepherd puppy to grow up to be the best, then you need to take care of it!

This article will explore some of the most important tips and tricks for raising a new German Shepherd.

What to Know About Your New Brown German Shepherd Puppy

So you’ve got a brown German Shepherd puppy and you want to know a bit more about it. Here’s a quick outline!

  • German Shepherd dogs (GSDs) are super energetic and need a lot of exercise!
  • GSDs tend to grow up quite a bit and need a bit more food than your average puppy.
  • GSDs are smart, loyal, and great companions. They love to love,  but they also need you to pay attention to them on a regular basis!

Now you know the basics! Here’s a bit more info on how to raise your GSD.

German Shepherd Raising Tips

Feeding Your Dog

There are lots of brands of food that are made for ‘large breed dogs,’ like the German Shepherd. Get yourself a suitable brand of food, and make sure that you feed your dog enough. Puppies often prefer to eat more frequently, so consider getting ready to feed your dog 3-4 times a day while it’s younger.

It’s also always a good idea to get young puppies checked for worms.

Exercise

GSDs are known for being highly energetic dogs, so you’re going to want to make sure you get your puppy a lot of exercise! GSDs often enjoy high-intensity exercise like running and jogging. If you’re not up to these types of activities, then make sure you give it time to run free in the dog park.

Many people think they have ‘bad’ GSDs. The reality is that, oftentimes, these dogs are just under-exercised and need an outlet for their huge energy levels.

Grooming Your Pup

German Shepherds are known for being beautiful – in part, because of their long and beautiful hair. When it comes to dogs, long beautiful hair means extra grooming. You’re going to need to be prepared to groom your Shepherd on a regular basis, especially when they shed their coats during the change of seasons.

And, like any dog, take care of their teeth and nails. Some owners find that hardwood floors can help to keep their dogs’ nails short, but this can also lead to floor scratches. Many find it’s best to clip their nails.

Learn to brush your dog’s teeth starting at an early age so they get used to the feeling of having you touch their mouth.

Conclusion

Raising a new puppy comes with its own set of challenges. However, you can overcome these challenges and build a strong relationship with your dog that will last years. Enjoy your brown German Shepherd puppy!
