[@veebeelights]

The fact that Zoe is almost 12, looks and acts like a 5 year old dog, just shows how there is a right way to take care of a dog: and thats doing your research, talking to vets, and respecting breed needs. such a good girl i love her

[@milk4984]

My dog izzy died when she was 7 do to a ruptured tumor on her spleen. And honestly every time I see videos like this I wish I knew about this stuff a loooong time ago. Cause if I did maybe I’d have still her with me. She was on a dry food diet her whole life and only weeks after she died we researched and found out dry food has basically zero absorbable nutrients and vitamins. She’s right that the best thing you can feed your dog is a raw meat diet. Dog food brands will legit spray on artificial vitamins and nutrients onto the food just so it can pass to be sold. It goes straight through your dog without them being able to absorb anything from what they ate. So yea if you’re going to have a dog, do research, make sure you can financially and environmentally support them, and pay close attention to them. I’m sorry for going on a tangent but I know a lot of people love their dogs like I loved mine and I don’t want anyone to risk having to go through that so suddenly like I did, you can be promised 15 years of your dog if you are knowledgeable. But you can get half that otherwise.

[@laurakastrup]

Genetics can also have an impact. Notice that Zoe is of a working class GSD, the spine is straight and her butt is round. German Shepherds that are bred for show purposes has a hump in their spine, apparently because it’s prettier, and a less round bum. I don’t get it. It can really fuck with the dog’s quality of life and make it so it has a hard time living out the later years. I’m saying that as a breeder. Zoe is obviously taken good care of but she’s also of a superior life expectancy from genetics. Welcome to my life

[@megancrager4397]

@@laurakastrup yes! I thunk breeding is one thing that actually does need regulated. Pit bulls can have aggression bred into them by ignorant irresponsible breeders...and as you know, all sorts of other issues, both behaviorally and health wise

[@dreaming-of-spots6805]

@@megancrager4397 pit bulls also are hunting dogs- specifically boar hunting dogs. They should have a very high prey drive and be high energy, gutsy, intense dogs who don't back down. Humans aggression, no, but other animals, yes, aggression/prey drive should be expected. There's an attitude in the US (and western Europe but less so) that if a dog doesn't have the temperament of a golden retriever, it's bad and needs to be changed, instead of respecting the fact that different breeds have different needs. So, yes, crappy breeders are responsible for human aggressive pitbulls, but a lot of people also expect them to be something they're not. And that goes for a lot of breeds too- like the people who get huskies or malamutes or malinois or other intense, high-drive breeds and then complain that they're destroying the house.

[@dreaming-of-spots6805]

@@milk4984 dry dog food is perfectly fine and appropriate, and perfectly bioavailable. There's a lot of fake science and BS on the internet regarding dog food- stick to unbiased published studies. Your dog got a tumor because of something in her genetics going wrong, not her food- I'm really sorry you lost her.

[@stars_for_night_lights]

I love that! 😊

[@kathryn-anon]

I really appreciate that you push talking to a vet before switching to raw-- a lot of vets in the vet communities I follow are against a raw food diet because many people who choose to raw feed don't consult a veterinary dietician and, as a result, don't ensure the meal is actually meeting all of the dog's nutritional needs! Good on you

[@dragonsheen3049]

So true! I'm a veterinary assistant and some of the raw diet people were just insufferable. They didn't listen to the veterinarian and ended up with an overweight dog, because they thought they knew better. I met an owner who fed their dog nothing but cooked chicken! Just because an alternative diet works amazing for some dogs doesn't mean it will work for theirs. Dry dog food CAN be good, as long as you ASK YOUR VET and invest in a high quality kibble. As an aside, for anyone reading, DO NOT BUY GRAIN FREE!! Grain free diets have been linked to dilated cardiomyopathy later in the dog's life. Please consult a veterinarian if you want to make major changes to your pet's diet :)

He would get his bath and wait till you left the room then he would jump out and shake. Then I would lay a towel down in the hallway, open the door and he would go to the towel and lay down and let me towel dry him. He was 110 lbs of rough and tumble, but well behaved.

If you instantly start switching to a raw diet without researching if it's right for YOUR pet not after observing someone else's pet and possibly different breed. What you do is consult with your vet, the ones who know best for a diet because they know your pet's medical records and such while mindful of the breed, they can accurately give you the diet your pet needs to stay healthy and happy.

Stop putting raw on some difficult and dangerous pedestal, a couple days of research and learning what you need and ratios is not that hard. If someone can't figure it out maybe being in charge of a living being isn't for them.

Over stressing their bodies at an early age can cause expensive problems later.. My previous dog was a shepherd mix. She blew out both her back knees at the same time!

Its sad Zoey passed away. May she fly with the angels. I also congratulate her owner for taking good care of her and making best memories with her. 🙏. Sending lots of love to her. 💖

[@ColorCarnage]

Rest in peace Zoey! You were an inspirational GShep 💚

[@chris_4429]

I was really surprised that she's already 11 years old. She is still in great shape

[@JAY1892]

I love GS’s and it’s great to see yours doesn’t have the ‘designer’ sloped back. 🙏🏽

[@jeanneturner1496]

We adopted our German shepherd from our local SPCA when she was almost three. She is now 12 and in wonderful condition (except when she looks like she's molting!) She is also working stock with the straight back. We use the furminator on her and our groomer strips her. As someone said, Luna sheds twice a year for six months each time.

I'd like to know where to get the water nozzle for initial fur removal.

I had a feeling you were a raw feeder. My secret: learning. Never stop learning. There's a reason I have a 13 (and almost a half) year old great dane who has only fallen to mobility issues in the past month or so. A year ago she could have outrun any dog in the house. It's never as simple as diet or medication or veterinary care or what have you. It's knowledge of everything combining to make the best life you can for your dog as an individual. What works for my ancient, now crippled dane does not work for my coming 4 year old Newfoundland, and neither of their plans work for my working livestock guardian dogs of a variety of ages. I will never think I know too much or even enough to keep my dogs in the best possible shape, because science is always discovering new things and, through those scientists, so am I.

[@bunniesbunniesbunnie]

@@z3phrios You can get right off my comment thread by saying raw is dangerous. It isn't. Thanks. PS: she'll be dead soon because she's a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD DANE.

[@bunniesbunniesbunnie]

@@z3phrios If anything, kibble is the trend. It wasn't even a thing before the early-mid 1900s. People fed their dogs what dogs ate: meat.

[@redfailhawk]

I have a 13yo chow cross, and she has only in the last two years shown her age as well. Deafness sadly began to take over; she's been losing her vision since age 6. I attribute a lot of her mobility staying good well into her senior years to the fact that she was a service dog and walked with me everywhere. She's only this year had issues getting up. She's a good girl. I do feed kibble, admittedly. With the new pup I'd like to switch but literally have no clue where to start.

[@catspajamboree]

@@redfailhawk there are some services that deliver raw to your door but honestly a limited ingredient diet especially one with organ meat is just as good and not as expensive plus it doesn’t take up fridge space the raw diet is nice but it’s expensive and you have to worry about cross contamination

[@redfailhawk]

@@catspajamboree my issue would be finding a place that sells that. I can't name a single butcher here.

[@kaitlynx1388]

The age in senior dogs is usually easy to spot, even in healthy dogs but I would never in a million years guess that Zoey is 11. Mind blown. It makes my heart happy to see her so healthy and vibrant 💘

[@khfan4life365]

I remember giving my German Shepherd, Eddie, a bath. We went to a self-grooming place. Eddie did not enjoy the bath and tried to sit down the whole time, so my sister and I couldn’t wash his back end. When we finished with the bath, he tried to climb into the tub next to the one we used because there was a cute female Lab in it. It got a laugh out of us and the other owners. He’s neutered but still thinks he has game.

[@erinsunlin2839]

Puppies bred with health in mind is one of the best ways to ensure long term health. Look for proper breed testing for the parents (depending on breed, this can include hips, elbows, eyes, heart, etc).

[@maeterith1984]

I love German Shepherds. They are beautiful. ❤

[@historical.isolde7918]

We have considered a raw food diet for our greyhound, but it would render ineligible to be a blood donor. Our Goldie gives blood about three times a year, providing one unit of blood and two units of plasma each time. We are so proud of our lifesaving superhero of a doggo!

[@randomvielleuse527]

I'm so glad you're promoting raw food for dogs in such a rational and careful way. I had great results with my mother's two old cats (22 and 18) but I definitely did a lot of research and worked with their vet. The older cat had kidney issues and the vet was concerned that raw meat might be too much for her. So, we did extra checks on her kidney values and we were both pleased and surprised that her kidneys did not seem to mind at all! Both cats blew out their coats two time the summer I changed their food. The 18 year old wasn't as keen on the all raw diet so I added in a good quality canned food and she took to it quite well. The 22 year old took one bite and never looked back! Both of them lived a much healthier life in their old age, the 22 year old died two years later, the 18 year old not only made it to 20 but regained a svelte figure (she was never over fed) and her "cheeks" receded until she actually had a jawline again. Even better, she began to play enthusiastically and a lot of her anxiety eased up. I miss both those cats so much. Zoey was a beautiful dog indeed, inside and out. I'm sorry to learn from the comments that she's gone on ahead of you but yes, she'll be waiting on the other side and happy to greet you.
