Where is Arlo ? How has he been?
Thanks!
We'd do raw if we weren't crossing the border into the US every week. Our pups are on First Mate (from BC) Large Breed Puppy and active dog formula. High quality ingredients and high energy. Our big guy Hans (10 months @ 94 lbs) cut his own portion down to 4 cups daily from 4.5.
Our female is 2.5 cups, but she's 15 months @ 75 lbs.
They also get some fresh fruit and veggies from us 😊
Great info John
Cheers
I’ll be getting my first ever Doberman either this fall or upcoming spring (it’s all going to come down to the temperament of each of the puppies as I’m searching for a service dog prospect), definitely going to be coming back to this video that happens, but for now I’m just going to soak up all the knowledge so I don’t go into creating a feeding plan for her (yes, I’m going to be choosing a female) completely blind. Need to be prepared❤
Thank you for uploading this video! Just got my doberman a week ago.. Needed this video.
Good stuff! Rambo is 14wks @ 33lbs (11wks @ 20lbs). We're still using the breader Purina Tender & Crunchy Puppy Chow and will be adding some Ollie to it soon. He's getting 1.5 cups 4x a day: 6:30, 10:30, 3:30, 8:30. We're very active (1 mile walk x2, outside play, dog socialization play, and training) and he's had no gut issues. Everything is going really well and he's a great companion for our family.
Just found your channel and we're picking up our first dobie pup on Tuesday 😁
Lost respect Purina has to be one of the worst dog foods
Good morning, brother John. I don't know where you are located right now,but one thing that I know is that I'm just truly sick of waiting for my breakthrough, brother
So anyways,God bless you, brother John and your awesome family 👩👧👧 keep up the great work that you're doing for the kingdom of Heaven with the encouraging words that you're giving right now 🪽✝️🔥🙏
Hi i am from Thailand where ollie does not ship here. Are there any alternatives?
We need a good trainer, we took in a blue doberman rescue. We have a 2 and a half year old. The rescue we took in is doing good except for a few things. It takes a special trainer to know how to train dobermans. I wish you were closer.
As always, thanks for your videos! Question in re to preventing Bloat: Does it also help to raise their food and water bowls… in order words, not simply place them on the floor? Thanks in advance for your take on this!
Dobermans are not to have peas nor lentils! I've checked with 6 different vet's as well as reach saying these cause DCM ! Unless I find something from a doberman heart specialist that says differently I will stay away from peas & lentils including Ollie's. You can not get Ollie's to make food to customers order & can not talk to anyone about customization!
I got my Doberman on April 13th of this year. Thank GOD your channel exists because you’ve helped out so much. My European boy is 6 months tomorrow and he’s 66 pounds and healthy as could be
Great guidance! One more mention…if you have a particularly precocious Doberman and you feed kibble, store it somewhere they cannot get to it.
Excellent info as usual. I use a combo of Nulo and Honest Kitchen 3 times a day, 6,12,6 for our 14 week old Dobie. Our girl is such a love bug. Thx
I’ve been feeding Raw for 20 years. I always highly recommend it. If you don’t want to do DIY then buy premade. Freeze dried is a good alternative, but it’s usually very expensive.
About to get my third dobermann fur baby – I trust my vet to point me in the right every time but I have a really decent vet. ❤
Yes, that's why I said what I did. Had no luck with customizing my choice. Can't find a phone # either. Which I don't like not talking to a human being! 🤷♀️
Our new Doberman pup Odin has made the transition to Ollie and he’s thriving. Thanks for the recommendation John, this is a game changer for me; so easy to get it right and the ongoing support from Ollie is invaluable. This is our third Doberman and we have been down too many roads trying to figure the best plan for keeping our friend healthy. With our last Doberman, Loki, we spent several hours a week cooking whole chickens and turkeys creating what we thought was a perfect diet but, it was time and energy that could have been better spent enjoying the boy. So many lessons from each dog, getting better but still much to learn.
Thank you for your work and for the great video
I like that crop. It’s hard finding Dobermans with a good looking crop like that, a lot swoop in too much imo
My Doberman puppy is 12 weeks, than you for your video: "Feeding Your New Doberman Puppy: When, Where, What, and How Much"
Pro Plan Focus line was discontinued years ago
Salmonella is not found in raw but in kibble. I add a great vitamin and other supplements to my human grade raw. It's taylored to each dogs needs. I feed them twice a day. They are extremely healthy. You practice the same protocols as you do when making your own food.
My doberman just turned 8 weeks do they know when to stop eating? because he eats nonstop
Raw feeding all the way and dont go to your vet for nutritional advice! Kibble is like giving ypur dog McDonald's every day…please!
I just go my Doberman 2 weeks ago, after watching your channel for 2 months. I used to have one growing up, I just never thought of getting another.
Do breeders post embark results on their Dobermans on websites?
My previous dogs have been rescues, planning a dobie purchase in the future. How do I find and vet a breeder?
My rottwiler dog was put down yesterday and I am now sad, it is not my original dog but my dads gf dog and I’ve lived with it since February 2020, no one knows his birthday but he is estimated 8 years old by the time I moved in, he has got to the point of old age were it would just be best if he were put down, he lived his full life and completed it, there was nothing left for him to do but move on yet I just couldn’t let go, the news was sudden and I only had 1 day to spend with him before he would go, during this time I truly realized what the dogs meant to mean and how much I loved them and it is so sad because you can have 10 dogs in your lifetime and that’s a lot of heartbreaks, I’ve seen this dog grow from a good energy older dog into an old man dog so quick and that’s why it’s just so sad to me it’s like I didn’t expect his life to be this quick, this is my first dog death. As of now I am very sad as I reflect on videos and pictures, I made sure to take some before he went, as of now I am not going to get a dog for a while but the rott has a special place in my heart and I don’t think I could get another I feel I’d be replacing the one and only og dog but as of this time I just can’t see myself getting another dog it is to emotional and I don’t want to think about having a little puppy that I go out and buy that will one day die, I still have my little dog who was always with the big dog and I will love him forever
Like it me
Soy racista con los perros?
Any recommendations on where to find a European puppy? And I want to be able to see and visit.
We just got our first dobie at 15wks and unfortunately, she hasn't been socialized at all. She's already showing fear at seeing other dogs out in public. How can we help her get past this so it doesn't get worse as she gets older?
Go with pre made raw and whole food treats. ❤
