#13 Rottweilers are supposed to walk twice a day, for at least 10-20 minutes, and preferably an hour and a half.
Walking must be combined with intense physical activity and active games to keep the pet in shape. By the way, not all representatives of this breed are fond of physical activity: many individuals prefer lying on the couch for many hours to jogging. In such cases, the dog will have to be artificially stimulated with praise or a promise of treats.
#14 Caring for a Rottweiler will not take much time.
They comb the dog a couple of times a week, bathe it 2-3 times a year, the rest of the time, limiting themselves only to washing the pet's paws after a walk. The claws of animals are sheared as needed, which may never come since, in an active Rottweiler, the claw plate is ground in a natural way. Allocate time once a week to check and clean your ears. The ear funnel is cleaned with a piece of cloth dry or moistened with alcohol-free lotion. Dogs' teeth are cleaned with a gauze pad and baking soda 4 times a month.
#15 Adults are fed twice a day, three meals a day are recommended for puppies under the age of six months.
The daily food intake should be no more than 5% of the total body weight of the animal. The amount of commercial feed is calculated according to the formula: 20-40 g of "drying" per kilogram of dog weight.
Since most dogs have a tendency to overeat, the calorie intake of the dog must be carefully monitored. In particular, for animals that overeat or begin to gain weight, it is useful to cut back on the ratio. The same should be done with older dogs, whose metabolism is no longer so intense. In particular, for “pensioners” the amount of carbohydrate-containing foods is reduced, but at the same time, the frequency of feeding is increased (up to 3 times). Once a week, Rottweilers are given a fasting day on fermented milk products and water.
