Large Munsterlanders need 3 to 4 cups of high-quality dog food, divided into two to three meals. Choosing the right food provides a well-rounded diet that will help them grow healthy and happy. Fresh, clean water should always be made available to them.

Large Munsterlander's dense and medium-long silky coat sheds moderately. Maintaining them needs regular brushing and an occasional bath, or whenever needed. Grooming helps manage their shedding. It is also suggested to ask for a recommendation from the breeder or from your vet.

Grooming them does not require much work. The Large Munsterlander has a medium-long silky coat that requires brushing at least once or twice a week. Clippers or a combination of clippers and stripping (a method in which the coat is thinned and shortened using a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) can be used to trim their coat.

If your dog's nails don't break off naturally, trim them once or twice a month to avoid painful tears and other issues. Check their lips, ears, nose, throat, eyes, and feet for sores, rashes, or symptoms of illness such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation. Ears should have a pleasant odour and be free of wax or gunk, and eyes should be clean and free of redness or discharge.

Make grooming a positive experience filled with praise and rewards, and you'll lay the groundwork for easy veterinary exams and other handling when he's an adult.

Munsterlanders require a good amount of exercise to keep themselves healthy. At least 2 to 3 hours of intensive physical activities such as running and playing around the park will keep them happy. They are ideal for active families and those who love outdoor activities.

Large Munsterlanders are generally healthy. They are reported to be prone to cataracts, Hip Dysplasia, and osteochondrosis. This is why veterinary care is essential to a dog's health and well-being.
