Any day, a Rottweiler weighing between 18.14 and 27.21kg can be served from 5 and one-fourth cup to 7 cup of dry kibbles. Food intake increases as the Rottweiler rises to a weight of between 27.21 and 36.28kg. Adult Rottweilers need a diet rich in whole proteins such as chicken, turkey, lamb, or herring, with a protein content of 22 to 26 percent.

To avoid the excessive development that can cause joint complications in large breeds, Rottweiler puppies are also fed adult food. It is important to obey the breeder's prescribed diet sheet while they are puppies. As adults, they should be fed twice a day because of their tendency to bloat, a dietary condition which can be serious.

Rottweilers, like all dogs, shed. They are, however, mild shedders as compared to other breeds. They shed more than usual twice a year, in the spring and fall, so be prepared to deal with excess fur during those seasons. Brushing the dog daily is the most effective way to avoid shedding. Excess and loose hair may be removed by brushing. It also helps keep the dog's coat in check by redistributing his skin oil onto the fur. Brush the Rottweiler regularly while they are going through a severe moult (Spring and Fall).

To clear dead fur and spread skin oils, wash your Rottie once a week with a firm bristle brush. He'll shed twice a year, and you'll need to clean him more often over that period to keep the loose hair in check. As appropriate, bath him. If you bathe him outside, the weather should be mild enough that you don't need long sleeves or a scarf. It's too chilly to bathe your Rottie outside if you aren't. Brush the Rottie's teeth at least twice to three days a week to get rid of tartar and the bugs that live inside it. Brushing your teeth regularly is much easier if you wish to avoid gum disease and foul breath.

As soon as your Rottweiler is a puppy, begin brushing and inspecting him. Handle his hands regularly because dogs are sensitive to their feet, and check his mouth and ears. Make grooming a pleasurable activity for him, complete with encouragement and treats, and you'll be setting the stage for simple veterinarian tests and another handling when he's older.

It is beneficial to provide your Rottweiler with at least two hours of regular exercise. This can include going on adventurous walks with extra playtime, spending time in a safe backyard, and playing various thought sports. You will learn how much exercise your dog needs and even plan outings that you and your dog can enjoy together.

A Rottweiler puppy or young adult dog should not be over-exercised. This will result in injuries as well as long-term lameness. Rottweilers need a lot of exercise. Failure to do that could lead to a slew of behavioural problems. They like running in the forests and through the open fields, but they do not need to stray too far from their owners. One of their favourite activity is swimming, and they will happily ride alongside a bicycle. However, be cautious as they run off the leash to ensure their safety.

Rottweilers may develop progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataracts, eyelid deformities, and other vision and eye defects. Every year, owners should take their dogs and a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist to have their dogs' eyes checked. Heart disease, cancer, and bloat are the most common causes of death in Rottweilers.

Rottweilers usually get along with kids, particularly if they've been raised with them. Since they are so large and heavy, they should be watched when around children, particularly young ones. They have a propensity to bend and drive as a result of their cattle-driving background, and a nudge will topple a toddler. They're generally better for families of older kids who know how to deal with pets. When your children have friends visiting, it's also vital to keep an eye on your Rottweiler. Rotties may be irritated by loud or aggressive play with children, Despite the fact that ''his'' children are not in danger, they should take steps to stop it. They can also pursue running small children.

Rottweilers are generally easy to train and adapt well to obedience training. They love agility training or learning to drive carts or sleds because these things come naturally to them. Rottie puppies are mischievous, and the majority will try to break the limits of appropriate licking, play biting, and stubbornness. In order to correct these behaviors, the owner must be strict, calm, and persistent, and early socialization and compliance are essential. Social skills may be practiced in a variety of contexts, such as puppy training or group obedience classes.

Rottweilers get along well with other dogs and cats when they are raised with them. Strange dogs or adult dogs adopted into the home can cause problems, and they may be intolerant to same-sex dogs. They should, however, welcome new animals peacefully with your instruction and guidance.

In public, keep the Rottie on a leash to avoid hostility or belligerence against other dogs. The Rottie isn't the safest dog to take to an off-leash dog park. The majority of Rottweilers get along well with other dogs in their household. However, some Rottweilers are predatory toward cats, and many are hostile toward other dogs of the same species.
