[@tomhohman9545]

I always told new puppy owners to sprinkle plain yogurt or cottage cheese on the dog food to help ears

[@ewigkriegerkennelsbonnieza2516]

I used Knox gelatin for my male puppy that is large boned and his ears were taking forever to come up. I mixed it with chicken broth and poured it in ice cube trays to make gummy cubes and fed it to him. It must have helped because without a couple weeks both ears were up and have stayed up since.

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

EXCELLENT suggestion Bonnie!!! GSM

[@ivelinanikolova4737]

Bonnie, My German Shepherd Puppy is 9 months old and I will start doing that tomorrow - can you give me an idea, please, how much gelatin you put and how often did you give him the gummies. Our dog is large boned and one of his ears is up, the other one goes up and down. When he is alert, both his ears are up, when he is relaxed, one is back down. He is so beautiful with both ears up!!!

[@ewigkriegerkennelsbonnieza2516]

@@ivelinanikolova4737 It really depends on how stiff you want them. I tend to make mine a little stiffer but it's only preference. The general rule of thumb is 1 package of Knox Gelatin to 1 C of liquid but I usually use a little less liquid, maybe 3/4 C. Make sure that you make your own chicken broth and don't use pre-made. The pre-made chicken broth has onion powder in it which can be toxic to dogs in large quantities. Most likely a couple ice trays of gummies wouldn't be enough to hurt them but why risk it. Just boil some chicken (without the bouillon cubes - again has onion powder). Boil the water down to the amount you need, then mix the gelatin in with the liquid while it is warm. Pour the liquid into the ice trays and put in the refrigerator and leave over night. Should be read to eat the next day. I gave my boy 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, but you can't overdose them on too many. Just depends on how often you want to remake the gummies. LOL

[@ivelinanikolova4737]

@@ewigkriegerkennelsbonnieza2516 Thank you so much for your precious advices! My puppy is 9 months old and people say he is huge for his age. Hope this is the reason that one of his ears is floppy and not up yet. Anyways, I am determined to help him with the gelatin. So, of course, I first bought the bouillon and made some gummies. As I have your answer now, everything makes sense and tomorrow I will buy a chicken to make the bouillon. Thank you again!!!

[@ewigkriegerkennelsbonnieza2516]

@@ivelinanikolova4737 You're welcome. My boy is also large boned and was 8 months old before both of his ears stood up. I think the larger boned dogs tend to have thicker ears which means more cartilage and heavier so the cartilage has to be that much stronger to hold up the extra weight. Give it time. As long as he hasn't had any injuries to the ear, chances are it will eventually pop up. The gummies will help and you can also try glucosamine & chondroitin supplements as well. Good luck.

I tired the boiled egg and it upset my puppy’s stomach and actually made him vomit and have diarrhea. I think it was to much protein between the egg and his food

Great video. Thank you for all your informative videos, I wish I knew this with our previous GSD. We have now a 8 weeks old puppy and both of her ears are up and I was wondering if it is okay to clean outside of her ears. I am afraid to touch her ears, but I need to clean them. Could I use ear wipes to clean them? Thank you GSM.

KZbin algorithm for the win. I just brought home a big boned boy with ears that are taking forever to lift haha. Left ear tries to stand up the right ear is floppy but over the last few days I've caught it trying. Also didn't think about the massaging :O I'll have to be careful and try your tips. Thank you! What do you think of taping? Just curious.

How old is your baby? Don't even think about taping until they are 5 months old in most cases. Watch my other videos about 'ears'. GSM

[@johnpaulwatson3818]

At what age would you start giving the Knox unflavored gelatin?

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

If their ears are not up solidly at 5 months start giving a pack a day along with a boiled egg. GSM

[@veronikaruiz227]

My puppy is 12 weeks old. Can I start giving her the Knox powder now?

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

I would wait. Her ears will probably come up on their own in a month or so. If she hasn't gotten them up by 5 months start the boiled egg and the gelatin daily. GSM

[@BobFudgee]

My puppies ears were already stood up when i picked him up at 8 weeks on the dot.

Will the boiled egg & Knox gelatin work also for a floppy ear on a 2 year old GSD?

[@SeamHead33]

After 2 years probably not

[@whoknew2273]

They fully grown at that age by then

[@giulianobattiston7157]

is their ears completely floppy or the base is up?

[@woodsywoods1366]

Giuliano Battiston the base is partially up. The breeder told me perhaps a litter mate had damaged the ear cartilage. Since seeing the video, I have been trying the boiled egg suggestion, but it’s too soon to notice any difference.

Love this channel, a friend just recommended it to me bcos i just got a German shepherd puppy 2 weeks ago and i been training her with what I have learned on this channel. My question is, i have a 9 yrs old boxer (male and is fixed) my puppy is a female and when i get close to her when she is eating i been trying to make her to back up and she is doing it even if it is my daughter the one getting close to her when she eats but if the one getting close is the other dog then she will growls. Is that agression? And if it is,what should I do?
