You will be extremely happy with your Rottweiler puppy and as
it grows, and with your adult Rottweiler as well. These dogs are
dignified and funny at the same time; they are powerful yet restrained
and watchful; they do not bark in vain, they never attack unless
severely provoked and anyway you look at it, the Rottweilers are
a great choice for a pet.
In order to draw out good behavior from this majestic animal,
you should be prepared to have it trained for at least 12 months,
though it will need constant guidance and supervision until it
reaches 24 months of age. Till then, the Rottweiler will behave
like a puppy by being unpredictable and playful.
The general Rottweiler care starts with the vaccinations, proper
diet, regular de-worming and ends with exercising and constant
interaction. The Rottweilers have weak immune systems, and they
will need a regular vet for medical attention. Do not be upset
if your Rottweiler seems to be catching all the flues and viruses
that exist around them as this is expected with this breed.
Proper Diet Helps Preserve Health
A proper Rottweiler care regime will help boost its immune system
with the help of health supplements and high protein content food.
You should ensure that your Rottweiler eats only high-grade food
and meat should be a common ingredient of the Rottweilers diet.
The percentage of protein in the diet of the Rottweiler should
not fall below 30 percent. Similarly, Rottweiler care dictates
that the fat content should never be below 20 percent and the
fiber about four percent minimum if you want to have a healthy
Rottweiler.
The Rottweiler care includes regular grooming. Take care of the
nails and have them cut, or cut them yourself, every two to three
weeks. Baths should be given with caution, lest you aggravate
its delicate health condition. The Rottweilers shed twice a year
and it can be extremely messy but other than brushing as often
and you can, there is precious little than you can do.
An important aspect of Rottweiler care is to ensure that your
Rottweiler gets sufficient exercise, with an ideal timetable would
be 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. Without
adequate exercise the dog might be becomes bored, resentful, and
uncooperative and even leave its food. It is easy to have them
exercised because they can and will do everything you want them
to do, run, swim, and bring the ball.
The Rottweiler needs special attention with regard to hip dysplasia,
elbow dysplasia, bone diseases, Willebrand’s disease (bleeding
problem), heart problems and plenty of allergies and some even
develop eye problems. The Rottweiler care will necessitate yearly
check ups after the dog completes its seventh year as they are
also prone to bone and immune system cancer.
In spite of their bulk and size, the health
concerns facing the Rottweiler are many and will require specific
medical attention. You should, as the owner, be knowledgeable
enough to recognize problems when you see them.
